Similar line in the movie "War Games," in which the super computer says, "Interesting game. The only way to win is to not play."

What a perfect analogy. And, yes, definitely, we need to stop playing the game.

For a deep understanding of this, Jordan Peterson talks for about child development and "playable" and "non-playable" games. It's really interesting how games underpin so much of life. The problem now, is the leaders of society, organizations, even your local dance group are playing non-playable games. Don't play. But, it's no fun. All the fun is gone in life.
