Luck and Destiny Irreducibly Alien

I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the passage in The Imperative in which Alphonso Lingis discusses videogames (albeit in brief):

But although we use our automobile only to roll to one end of the city and back again, transportation evokes the existence of remote and enchanted destinations or the roar of the sun and the wind in the open road. Although we use our PC only to play video games, the Internet evokes the existence of others—people with sensibility and convictions we could not produce in ourselves. The video games we play evoke the existence of luck and destiny irreducibly alien to the invention of our purposes.

The context is a chapter entitled “The Production of Purposes,” in which Lingis discusses the ways designed, industrial products attempt to fix their purposes, but yet exceed them nevertheless.
