The reason of course is money apparently defines what is “good”.

    Now compare how many people would consider a strong work ethic at the office bad to how many would consider spending a lot of time on DnD bad. The difference is massive. And don’t just think US or Europe. Consider the whole world. It won’t even be close.

      I mean, again, no one is going to consider a hard work ethic at the office bad by default, because it pays for you and your family’s food and shelter.

      If you flip the incentives around, i.e. you got food and shelter for playing DND and nothing but socialization for being at the office, then people would consider a strong work ethic at the office equally bad.

        I think you see what I am saying. Money (which pays for the food and shelter) determines the value.

          No, the necessity of food and shelter to your survival determines the value, money is just a unit of measurement for value.
