Pretty silly to think "Oh that's the human's true motive, self-preservation! I got you now, you sly humans!"

What are video games? And what about books?

We are pretty dumb though. On the whole. We've had a lot of our higher education people emigrate.

A good analogy to this is the emperor of America. He was just some homeless crazy dude in San Francisco in the 1860s. He attempted to price gouge the Chinese during their rice famine but shortly found himself under water on his rice contracts. This left him homeless and bitter so he named himself emperor of the United States. He somehow started printing his own money and some places feeling bad for him took it.

That's how the world sees America. Oh, the crazy folk are just down on their luck. They'll likely either die or end the world in a few years but at least they're making record profits.

Exactly, humans are the issue. Not the platforms. It's a society issue.

Honestly it's really pointed to the fact that human are the issue, not the platform.

Game developer. I'm one now and I have 10 years of experience making great games. It's highly competitive but I could see myself getting it.

If I couldn't be one I'd them be a math teacher and apply game development to make algebra fun and interesting.

Literally the comment above this one is talking about wanting to be a farmer because they grown good weed. A lot of people actually want to just clean up stuff. A lot of people like being a plumber. That said communism doesn't mean everyone just does what they want.
