the "hopelessly lost" aspect of the matrix bears here. You are disinclined to doubt the reality of a game that you are successful in. Without that doubt you won't escape it. So success becomes failure because it directly increases your lostness.

Video games lack that "hopelessly lost" aspect. I mean, nobody mistakes them for reality and never comes back. (Right?). So I'm excluding them.

Except for poetry. When you wake up from your dreamcoffin you'll still have your poetry skills and a few memorized poems.

First : the algorithm predicts thar our behavior today will be like our behavior yesterday. Which makes sense.

Second : what you eat determines how you poop. And they do control what we eat. So that makes sense too.

So both work together.

Teacher : draw a triangle with sides of length 1 inch, 2 inches and 3 inches

Kid : but you can't do that. You get a 3 inch line. Other students proceed to draw skinny triangles.

Teacher : you're wrong Kid. Everybody else can do it, what's your problem?

True story.

It might be voice to text. It sometimes gets carried away.
