If you want to help the human race progress, then learn how to automate, how to design/build/repair robotics, how to create new materials, architect structures, manage large populations and plan logistics.
The next time someone blows you off because you spend most of your days plugged into a video game console, know that you are offering absolutely no value to your fellow humans whatsoever. You aren't helping anyone make it; not even yourself, deadbeat. In any case if you had any kind of intellectual process going on up there in that tiny wee brain of yours, then you'd realize the inevitable...the human species is a virus, it destroys it's own planet and picks a few to rule over many. haha. Maggots is all we are. To think anything more about us is ignorant. You are going to be one those last few, trying to hold onto all of this life and what you've experienced then unfortunately die just like the rest of us. That is the reality of life and the human species as a whole. Accept it and stop trying so hard. lol.
The premise of your op was "your going to be one of those people that won't make it", thereby designating "making it" as the goal. Using the context of "making it", if you evaluate video game playing in comparison to engineering, computing, or any contributory job, the people exerting effort into making practicable decisions and executing a plan are the ones who provide a level of affluence above mere survival of our species. Nearly all humans have an innate drive to avoid pain and seek out pleasure. You have inherited the foundation of civilization that grants you abundant conveniences, without which you would be a mere animal in the wild, competing against nature. Respect what you've been given, and what you've been saved from by modern medicine, technology and morals.
If you're just waiting around to die, then playing video games between now and then will pass the time, but your original statement placed emphasis on "making it". It's about time that you learned the difference between entertainment and contribution. |

There you go. You actually made me smile while reading this. I get what your saying, and you missed my point all together. Don't concentrate on words, for my point goes deeper than any word can sum up. Try again, and I'm sure you'll get what I was saying. Afterall your only going to impress me by revealing what isn't so obvious here. But so far your on the right track.

Who is going to live in a cell? With brain machine interfaces, we will be able to supplant reality with customized digital qualia.
You seem to be speculating about the future, but you have left out the evolution of civilization and the complex interactions of progress in sundry fields.
It's not a realistic thought experiment to project who you are now into the distant future. You may even evolve beyond your biological body. |

If those people who plan for the future in this world enjoy how they pass their time, then it satisfies your mandate of doing what you enjoy. You must conceed that to them it may be intrinsically rewarding, whether or not you share their worldview. |

There is no mandate to enjoy yourself. Many people not raised in this day and age would laugh heartily at that comment. Brainwashing kids is too easy evidently. Capitalism keeps you chasing enjoyment so that you desensitize and enjoy it less and buy more by selling a dream. There is no mandate to enjoy yourself it's only that humans are extremely good at coming up with ways of enjoying themselves. |

This is greatly idealistic of the experience. I would say actually almost all come out with more delusion then they had going in. |

natural selection?
there are too many economic liberals overiding selection. natural selection is only a sermon topic to be rolled out for convenient anti-god purposes, not actual balancing.

A) I game for entertainment. Any possible benefits that has to future survival is purely coincidental.
B) You have no crystal ball and cannot say that there will be no nuclear war or catastrophic solar storm in our future to say that technology is the obvious way forward. Technology and its systems are fragile, and if something were to occur, then all your technological experience would mean squat.

The scale of destruction for nuclear warfare given the time it would take far exceeds anything conventional warfare could accomplish.
Not to mention the nuclear fallout.

I'm not convinced it'll happen is what I'm saying.
The nations that have them are too scared to use it, and everyone else is pressuring them to disarm them.
Standard bombs and bullets? They'll level a forest and dry up a river just as well, albeit with a bit more effort.
