How can you still enjoy video games and modern entertainment? How can you still be distracted by the shadows on the wall and not seek to go outside the cave? You only have so much time. Tick tock.>Allegory of the cave>In the allegory, Plato describes people who have spent their entire lives chained by their necks and ankles in front of an inner wall with a view of the empty outer wall of the cave. They observe the shadows projected onto the outer wall by objects carried behind the inner wall by people who are invisible to the chained "prisoners" and who walk along the inner wall with a fire behind them, creating the shadows on the outer wall in front of the prisoners.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave>Operant conditioning chamber>A Skinner box is a laboratory apparatus used to study animal behavior.>The chamber can be used to study both operant conditioning and classical conditioning.>The operant conditioning chamber may be used to observe or manipulate behaviour. An animal is placed in the box where it must learn to activate levers or respond to light or sound stimuli for reward. The reward may be food or the removal of noxious stimuli such as a loud alarm. The chamber is used to test specific hypotheses in a controlled setting.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning_chamber
>>541572385I'm still hooked on sites like this but vidya lost its appeal for me and I just can't rekindle it. I simply stopped being able to care about the internal values of the games. It really all boils down to "go to x and collect y" with different graphics over and over again. But then that is life as well.
>>541572385Doesn't the animal end up pressing the lever anyway even though it gets shocked? Because the need to eat and survive is greater than avoiding damage? So the animal will associate food with pain as it's the only way it can survive? Doesn't that explain why people slave as prisoners because they still get to eat?
>>541572385They want you talking about skinner boxes because they don't want you discussing compulsion loops
>>541572385You're doing the exact same thing by reading wikipedia articles and posting them here>read some garbage a wikitranny wrote>omg I'm so smart for reading these random concepts>post it on /pol/>get dopamine hits from replies>repeat over and over againHow about you ACTUALLY get off the digital dopamine machine and go outside and have sex?
>>541572385This post is very brown-coded and is being shouted from a cave
>>541572385>How can you still enjoy video games and modern entertainment?i don'tpretty much all entertainment i consume is made before 2010
>>541573057>brown-codedTranny term. Just say nigger
>>541572385Because there is nothing we can do at this point retard you can't individually do anything. You need large groups of people and even then they control all media with algorithms now so you wouldn't even know if large swaths of people were being exterminated. The best we can do is sit back and enjoy watching the world burn.
>>541572385The media has made sure to show you that if you do something contrary to the will of the government, the public will keep their heads down and watch the government fry you. That keeps people waiting for everyone else to start a revolution big enough, which keep everyone inactive, which keeps the jews winning.
>>541572385I liked it better when I posted it about the niggers at the dunkin donuts, your graphic is AI slop and wrong gayboy.
>>541572385Not enjoyable, but still better than fraternizing with the cave dwellers.
>>541572385Yes
>>541572385board games are the way
>>541573043Video games are just a substitute for success in life. The better you’re doing IRL the less you’ll like video games, since the dopamine hit of a fat paycheck or a hot girl sucking you off will always be higher than machine gunning some other nerd’s cartoon character with your cartoon character.
>>541572385going outside (figuratively) requires some workyou need to find an activity to do, schedule it etc.
