Video Game CEO Cheers Digital Tyranny And Technological Enslavement
This video is from a gaming conference that was held this year and the speaker is Jesse Schell– a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and CEO of a video game company.  It’s important to watch the WHOLE video to understand how psychology is being used against us through computer games to slowly ease us into accepting the kind of surveillance we would have never condoned years ago. As more power is taken from the hands of ordinary people and they find themselves working harder and harder for fewer and fewer real rewards, they’re seeking escape and a sense of personal achievement  by building make-believe farms and creating pretend empires through fake Mafia families.  Because, (similar to our Federal Reserve notes,) the objects obtained from these games are made out of thin air, but without ANY need for physical resources to create them, there is no scarcity of reward to be handed out.  People pay real money (real defined as credit obtained from labor in the real world)  for the chance to one-up their friends in what is ultimately just a game.   Yet as Schell points out, games are just the beginning.  The future he outlines will bring the structure of these games into the real world, where our lives will be controlled by similar point systems.
