You Wrote: Look, the lab rat thing is offensive because that experiment? The one they're referencing? Is the one where they hooked electricity into a rat's brains, to stimulate its brain's pleasures centers, and gave it the ability to stimulate the pleasure centers by stepping on a button The rats then stimulated themselves like until they died. They literally starved to death because they couldn't break away from the addiction of hitting those centers. That's what "stimulate to the point of starvation" is referencing There is little shame in acknowledging that there are enough similarities between rats and humans to use rats for experiments and have the found knowledge apply to humans It 치s* shameful and disturbing as hell, to take experiments that revealed how you could twist rat neurobiology to manipulate them and even cause them to essentially commit suicide through their basic biological directives, and then compare humans to that. Because you're basically telling shareholders, investors, whoever was at that meeting, that you can take that same principle (pleasure overriding common sense to the point of a creature failing to meet basic needs like food) and manipulate human beings to part with their cash for the profit of the company And there is no saying "Oh, well Gaia would stop hitting the pleasure centers before people starved" because they can't control that that precisely Few casinos or their workers (gambling is mentioned in those slides as well) would say that they want people to become so addicted to gambling that they lose their houses, their cars, they steal their kids' money, their family is ruined, and they may even be driven to suicide... No, they would deny wanting that. And maybe they would be telling the truth. But they can't control that. Most people can go into casinos and not become gambling addicts. But they always hook a few. And, by their tactics that are designed to make them money, they can't stop addicting those people unless they change their tactics And they won't. And Gaia won't either, apparently. And while I doubt GCash is capable of inflicting the same scale of ruin casinos and gambling can, the COoseems like he would have no trouble upping the scale with their tactics if it meant more profits. Addiction ruins people's lives, whether it's alchohol, drugs, gambling, or anything else that a human becomes hooked on. And doesn't matter if other companies are using it, it's still wrong to deliberately addict people for profits, because people can't overcome their biology and can be manipulated. And Gaia's userbase skews younger than most MMOs said that the "holy grail" of his principle is addiction. It Hello, This message is to let you know that we have deleted your post.
