Video games make us feel like gods, but we’re all just trained pets. A game will hand us a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo (I’m a god!). Then it will literally draw a trail leading us to our next target to shoot. And when we shoot that target, the game gives us a treat to tell us that we're a good boy. Stupidly, we think that treat makes us more godlike. In reality, it's just proof that we're well-behaved.
