Certainly this is revealing of my own habits, and helped crystallize and identify harmful thought-patterns I have in myself. What do you think? Do you see yourself running on fake treadmills? Have you known this for some time? From where do you get a sense of achievement?
I stopped after seeing "video games are fake achievements". Actually, I didn't, I ended up skimming after that though.
These "fake achievements" as he likes to call them, suit his definition of a "real" achievement. They actively make a positive, tangible difference in my or anyone else's life. It is a real, true prerequisite for a tangibly effective activity. And I'm totally okay with doing this just because I like doing it, and it certainly benefits me.
So it's both? That definition is stupid.
Nope. Nothing is meaningful.
The author also never includes what is a "real" achievement. And if they did say one, I could shoot it down using their own words. Because their definition of "real" and "fake" is bullshit and opinion.
