So I am looking closer at sports now because this project is almost over so I am not going to be interfering whereas previously I was helping the women and not watching sports at all. Since I get accused of ruining everything and for many it is all they have to look forward to and I can understand that. I used to do a bit of musing like for tennis, I was a muse for Maria Sharapova and at 17 years old she beat the machine the unbeatable Serena Williams. And I had to stop because people said I helped her win and that was not fair.I just helped her focus and things like any coach without coaching her game at all. Just helped her deal with stress.
But still got accused of helping her win like it was cheating.
So now I am watching sports again recently and so I just watched A 2005 Masters golf tournament with Tiger Woods, and what a show. 6 hours roughly, for 18 holes I watched half yesterday and the other half today, so two days of enjoyment, and the drama was completely over the top. Human writers can't write all that. Near the end I was able to predict what Tiger would do since I know these writers quite well watching them everywhere and knowing their style. I just look and say well what is expected to happen.
Expect the expected. But a incredible game by Chris Demarco, like he never played before where Tiger had 12 stroke lead as usual, what the announcers usually say it is not a fair fight at all laughing, when he is playing he is that much better than everyone else.
But Chris who was matched up against him played incredible golf, inspired by his contest against Tiger and almost won.
Sorry if that is a spoiler for you. They went into overtime with a one hole payoff the stuff of legend.
But of course as if they know exactly what they are looking at the announcers made note of one put, or chip that really? He made that?
On his own? Sure buddy. Was the way they were acting regarding this crucial moment. As if they were like me being critical of the machinery. But Tiger makes those incredible shots all the time, because he is the best in the world.
It didn't diminish my enjoyment of watching this game. What I tell my crew every time they say they are watching interference I say to them don't be superstitious even if by hanging out with me all the time they can see what looks like interference more plainly.
I say yes but there is no proof. So we have to take things at face value.
Victoria Justice said to me once don't think too deeply. And that was good advice. If you want to enjoy it, then take it at face value.
So they are making games more fun to watch, by manipulating them, and if you are not competing, maybe it shouldn't matter to you.
If you were? That's a horse of a different color.
The fact is we have got a million good sports games in youtube that are great entertainment even if it is more for boys than girls, and good clean fun is sometimes difficult to find.
So I can't be critical when all it does is make better entertainment. And think about what I said. What is the difference when you say a person has a gift from God, or a person is being helped by the machinery?
That's a tough one isn't it, depending on your belief system. Is it possible to be aware we live in a simulator and to think that doesn't limit Gods power? I am a believer and will not diminish my view of the real God if in fact he exists or not I prefer to believe he does, and even if we have been in computers for 80 billion years should not limit my belief in God. Or divine intervention. We all need help at times and coming from anywhere is good enough.
So I hope that it doesn't hurt your own enjoyment of sports but when you get together with the guys and go play golf, I doubt you will be facing the kind of challenge that pros do in sports. It will still be just you and them and what you bring with you.
Again it is better to just go play than to watch it. And because I didn't get involved in sports since I was a kid, I have all those games to watch later in life and don't remember previous games or scores it is all happening for me in real time when I watch it.
Since I am not a sports fanatic. I can't imagine what drives people to watch the Indy 500 where nothing seems to happen until they all crash. They go around and around for hours and hours and hours. But I know people who would not miss a single race.
One thing I do know, war is not where we are headed as a species. Sports has replaced it. Get used to it.
