Put me down for Team Shakesneer, opposed to Team Rov_Scam.

I'm libertarian in that I oppose most international borders. The reason is that it violates human rights for very little justified purpose.
Do you lock your doors at night? Is your bedroom open to migrants? I assume not, for obvious reasons. Why don't those reasons apply to, say, the Longhouse of your tribe, or the City Hall at 3am, or your sovereign nation?

If the brain is a prediction machine, tricking it into playing video games is a fantastic way to get reps in. With tradeoffs, natch.

Current project is a Holdem (poker) website, multiplayer or single-player with bots, implemented in Elixir, using Event Sourcing and CQRS architecture. Nearly feature complete for a first draft, I am on the cusp of making it available for people to bang on.
Briefly:
- Play chips, no money
- No-friction profile and wallet tracking (no passwords: cookies and tokens)
- High-fidelity hand history, for real-time or post-hoc analysis
- The bots you play against can also advise your play
Rationale:
I was around for poker boom 1.0, with Chris Moneymaker winning the World Series of Poker, back when it was hosted at Binion's, in the Rounders era. We are now in the second wave, GTO, Game Theory Optimal. A completely different meta with different terminology has evolved in the last 10-15 years. I got one goshdarn Doug Polk video in my viewing history, and now I'm nerdsniped into learning about GTO poker, having played maybe 3 poker games in the last 20 years.
So I needed to get my reps in, and I needed advice. Possibly from LLMs. Who could watch my own gameplay and decision making and tell me about my decision, additionally providing new-meta (and old-meta) analysis that should feed better decisions. And I need a lot of reps. So what I have really built is a poker trainer, disguised as free-to-play multiplayer site. I just want to be placed into a realistic situation, with limited information, and train myself to make good decisions.
The crux of this is a so-called "hand history" format that is easy to read and follow, yet informationally complete. I have not found any free poker site that provides a useful hand history for this. So I'm building one. I have a freemium revenue model banging around the back of my brain somewhere.

I have a ballistics library which includes tons of real-world cartridges and is primarily concerned with estimating muzzle velocity for arbitrary barrel lengths. This would be most applicable to a a sim-style shooter like Tarkov or milsim stuff that wants real world cartridges with real world data. I have the basics for POI relative to POA but zero collision detection with terrain or objects. That much is technically out of scope for my project, which is more of a ballistics database than any sort of engine. But designed to hook up to an engine.
Your argument is wholly distinct from dailydogma's and more interesting, granted. But dd was saying that the prevention of a human from crossing a property boundary is a human rights violation. A very strange argument coming from a libertarian. I would like to know which human right that is, what it may conflict with, and the nature of the violation.
And while I agree that my analogy may not hold for various reasons, as it scales up and out, I argue that none of those reasons coincide with or support dailydogma's position. And I would be interested to know the scale at which dd believes it breaks down.
