100%. Really, I'm more expressing my desire to live in a society which doesn't feel a constant (simulated) risk just to exist. This economy is just a game we play, and I think a lot of people don't know this, and also don't want to be part of it.

I think to be working at the top of the Hierarchy of needs (in game development, for instance), people should demonstrably master the lower levels of the pyramid. We really can live in a way, where this is possible. We just have to collectively want it.



Things in the physical world break down sometimes. It’s not a result of some calculated collective choice.


In my mind, that reinforces my point. One ought to try to mitigate risk to yourself by minimizing the amount of human infrastructure ones needs to keep life going.
