Maybe: "a *bug* in engineering is ¿possibly/likely? a *feature* in
evolution"?
I would claim that in the long run "all systems are evolutionary" in
spite of engineers/systems folks attempt to isolate them in
space/time/topology so as to direct them to change/behave to their own will.

Ha! Y'all are pissin' me off, here. The classification of twinking as
cheating is so over. This point still qualifies for both the general
content of the list and the VR/AR discussion. The difference between a
bug and a feature depends on the perspective of the "user". E.g. the
Log4Shell bug isn't a bug. It's a feature if you're a black hat
looking to "move fast and break things" or if you're a white hat
looking for some street cred. Circuit benders, gamers, rave attendees,
microdosers, etc. are all properly classified as psychonauts. Twinking
is yet another form of it.
Of course, it's irritating when the butthurttryhard just wants to
defeat the stupid boss to make progress in the game and some twink
keeps killin' 'em on the run to the boss. The victim thinks it's
cheating. But game theory and coevolution tell other stories. Git Gud
or Go Home. Do what thou wilt is the whole of the Law.

and I'm learning that twink could refer to the cheating player
themselves or in Glen's use:
" It can also be used to describe the process of keeping a video game
character at a low level while using in-game currency, earned by a
high-level character, to provide it with superior equipment."
I think I will try randomly using "it's time to get my twink on" with
my gamer son.

SG -
Thanks for taking/following/explicating that bait. I was pretty
sure glen was Tweaking us with Twitch and Twink... very NLP if not
actually poetic.
I was only aware of the gay-culture terminology but trusted
that Glen (as he is wont to do) was expanding our
vocabulary/awareness in some way that I failed to unroll fully
(nominally an arbitrarily deep fractal/iterated map?).
