If we imagine real life like a Diablo II analogy; it seems that the apex pursuit is player versus player combat. PVP.
For example, when it comes down to it, only thing that people really care for is to get the best equipment, the most rare and legendary weapons and armor, an amulet, in order to maximize their player versus player come back abilities. For example, the barbarian and whirlwind in Diablo II seemed to be the best character.
In modern day times, we don’t really pit individuals against each other. Besides the UFC, boxing, there is no real big notion of a single player versus another single player. Instead, we moderns are all about fighting big concepts, but concepts are not real. People are.
Therefore, may be a better pursuit in life is to think of yourself as the primary character, and your interactions are just player versus player. For example, even social conversation; having the social courage to dominate a conversation. Or to charm or interest other person. This is where I think a lot of people are interested in the art of seduction; all the males identify the most beautiful and apex woman, and all the males strive to use their charming abilities in order to bed her.
Therefore, perhaps a better pursuit is for us to seek out more interesting solo individuals. For example, for myself, I could really care less about Tesla and SpaceX; I am more interested in Elon Musk as the individual. The same thing with Kanye West; I am not that interested in his clothing, I’m more interested in his personality.
Even with Apple; the only interesting people associated were Apple was Steve Jobs, and Jony Ive. But now that Steve Jobs is dead, and Jony Ive has left, Apple is no longer interesting.
The same thing with Google; Sergey Brin and Larry page were the only interesting people at Google. Now that they have left, Google has become a sort of strange Skynet; no true innovators or interesting individuals at the helm.
Where have all the interesting individuals gone?
