this sounds really dumb, but it seems that if people are that motivated by progress bars and blinking lights and flashy animations, we should really be developing video game HUDs into AR headsets to get people to grind in real life instead of video games.

I sort of did that. In October 2019 I started calculating my net worth every month. I have lots of graphs and charts.

Now I’m a FI millionaire who works because it’s the best way to meet interesting people my age. I look forward to when AI frees everyone from work and they have time to do fun stuff during the day too.
