Even though I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty anti-video games, I think that studying video games is actually a very fascinating way to understand humanity. For example, when you think about the initial grand theft auto and World of Warcraft, what is it that people love the most? The open world concept. That you could go anywhere, do anything, and unlock any and every single door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what is it that we want from crypto<\/a> technologies? We also like the idea of getting rid of borders, and restrictions. Even notions of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153decentralized finance\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, is more about having open borders when it comes to the movement of money or resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is real life open world? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So the trillion dollar question is this: is embodied reality<\/a>, what we often refer as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the real world\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, truly open world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Having a car is Useful<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people desire to go to natural places, whether it be national parks, green spaces, or places where you can go hiking or camping. and why is it that we like natural environment? I think we like to hike because it stimulates our nerves and muscles, which bring us physiological joy, also seeing much verdant green areas is visually refreshing to us, and is a good visual detox from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the point for us humans to permanently live outdoors, in wild forest areas? I think not. I like the idea that we could barbell it: spend some of our time in the extremely urban city, where we get joy from other human beings and society, and sometimes going to the forest the green areas, in order to recharge ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple words, the best life is the life in which you get both nature and<\/em><\/strong> the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think a lot of people just want to buy a lot of stuff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
