Video games are the new opium of the masses. They distract us from the grind of laboring everyday of our lives. They are the product of a billion dollar industry designed to extract profit from our valuable free time.
Worst of all they serve to condition us to do as we are told. Complete a task, gain a reward. Do it enough and you level up. Over and over and over. Then when you are done, buy a new game. Compete against your peers to win points. Complete the task. Level up.
It’s brainwashing us to be good workers, while distracting us.
