Well, they think they do.
Gamists rule the world. Gamists are the people who tweak every little thing around themselves including themselves to get the absolute best result out of everything around them. You might ask "Isn't everyone a gamist?" I would answer no. They are test pilots. They are politicians. They are used car salesman. They are programmers. Not every one in the world is detail oriented or a detail freak perfectionist. That is the attribute that gets you ahead in this age.
There is simply too much to learn now. People used to learn farming or ranching or fishing ( on a commercial scale) or cloths making or botany or smithing or any other of a million useful things that people need as a society to survive.
These things are nearly always done by others now. We outsource the bits that gamists are not good at.
Management and layers run the world now. People want to tell others to hurry up. I guess that seems like less work. It makes people feel dominant. It is all fake. No wonder our economy has failed. We have based our livelihood on yelling at people to do their job and not doing it ourselves.
I blame gamists. They got too good at what they were doing in the first place and passed that duty on to others. Now, they have screwed up what they are doing and let the same gamists continue to screw things up The bankers who didn't like the rules had the rules changed to fit their needs. The financiers ran the entire economy in to the ground and walked away with half the world owing them money.
Survivalists are simulationists. Farmers are Narrativists. I am an observer. I prefer watching and reading about things to dealing with them. I'm the weakest and least effective of all.
