This has really worked pretty well for me. I have to stop myself from researching optimal builds and strategies when I’m learning a game because it always accelerates the path to no longer enjoying the game.
The most fun I have is when I approach it the way I would’ve as a kid: what looks cool?
Turns out games are a lot more fun when you’re discovering everything yourself and learning as you go!
Mate, the article links to the study, rather than be pedantic about the title you could read the study and figure out how they did the math yourself.
For that to happen, society needs to be structured in a way that the benefits of greater productivity is distributed to everyone, particularly those most in need.
I sure as hell don’t see that happening anywhere at the moment. Productivity has grown steadily since I entered the workforce - my paycheck sure as hell hasn’t reflected that.
I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they’re in charge. That’s why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.
I’m hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I’m not holding my breath, though.
Just wanted to say, huge props for editing the post and title when you found out it was debunked. That’s so important and too many people just don’t take that step when they learn, so upvoted for that
I mean, having to deal with the torrent of that type of content was a big reason why the admin of lemm.ee quit altogether, so I would wager it happens quite a bit.
