Games are manipulating you and making you feel happy about progress that happens inside a game that isnt even real. But it works.

Real life is designed to be debt slavery, and for you to constantly run faster to get an education, a good job and a family. My girlfriend feels she is getting enough satisfaction in life from our kid and her gardening interest. I’m not feeling that way personally, and I wish there was something more exciting to look forward to, because life can be pretty boring if you don’t feel excited about work and family.

I feel like games are a way to forget the boring real life for a while. But they are clearly manipulative.

Real life is boring because there is no feeling of any meaning to what we do. If we were living in a star trek society where you could be proud of humanity and what we are accomplishing, it would be easier to feel like we are doing good. But there is just no higher purpose to any of our current activities. So it’s boring.

Human leaders are super primitive as well, and just depressing to watch. They are the worst of people, but being advertised as leaders.
