Today i had a lot of free time. And I spent several hours playing computer game about space called Stellaris. I had several plans and actions and I did them at the evening, but during day I was playing. Why I did that?

Game is illusion of control. You know the rules, you know how to win. It is very important to feel control in current VUCA world.

Game is predictable. You know where the script will led you, you know what to expect. What a difference with life, eh?

Game is about winning. You can set difficulty, or cheat with AI, and feel that you are a winner.
