> Play the game well enough.
An economic and social system with many games one must play does sound an awful lot like a gambling house.
(Edit: substituted "games one must play" for "many games for one to play" — it's about the necessity and lack of choice, not the freedom to play games if one desires to do so)
- aphextron 8y ago>An economic and social system with many games for one to play does sound an awful lot like a gambling house. Humans play games. And business is just lots of humans playing lots of games. You can either accept it, go along, and build a career, or take your shot at doing your own thing. The latter is terrifying and incredibly unlikely to succeed, so most pick the former.
