this is literally so true in my high school; all the academic tryhards join so many different clubs because they say they want to "make a difference," but most know damn well it's often just for college applications! so i agree with "Most people who say they’re being “true” to themselves, or however they word it, are still playing games. They’re just selectively choosing to not play some games and patting themselves on the back for it" 1000%. also, i write a substack about what I had for dinner and a quick scientific fact about it, which was learned from my high school curriculum. glad if you'd check it out and maybe subscribe! anyways, david, the words you speak are the words of the blunt truth!
This is such an honest piece. Got me thinking about the games I play. As much as I would like to believe that I don't, I think there's no getting away from the fact that it is nearly impossible to stay away from all games.
