In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree. Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling. Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time. Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

That’s the side effect of liberalism, First it liberates us from bad thing, but eventually it liberates us from the community, family, parent role, friend role, human nature. Among my friends, I managed to reverse it, they all went from childfree to 2-3 children, living in rural area in a community of friends and family. But in a grand scale, I don’t see any change happening, rather the opppsite, I think we will go all the way to the extreme: no children, no permanent parter, no permanent friends, no connection to the extended family, no connection to any part of our human nature, a single digital/human unit that mostly interacts with the internet and over time interacts more with the ai on internet than with humans.
