@GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @d_mathieson@mastodon.ie @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green I think gaming spaces make it easier to see some of these psychological effects because you can generate wealth out of thin air and you can tune games to be more or less socially rewarding or competitive.
Wealth in life is also similar to in game resources except that it correlates to real resources but, especially with tge most wealthy, that is somewhat false. Many resources are under or overvalued in order to tweak those calculations.

Tech bros are saying that data centers are more valuable than water. That pixels are more valuable than all life on earth.
They are attempting an end game table flip and we all need to recognize that.
