I think that’s plausible, but there are still-less-harmful alternatives. Football comes to mind.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1218261274590474240 …

I’ve thought about getting into football but last time I tried the theory was too intricate for me to grasp and there weren’t any discernible feelings. Fiction/art seems more my speed for “leisure & social engagement not easily confused with objective truth.”

That’s a first-order comparison. Football’s damage is kinda limited to say a few athlete brain injuries. CW damage is *designed* to find pathways to policy influence that ultimately lead to wars, police states, re-education camps etc, beyond basic PTSD of participation.

The CW has *already* metastasized into all those things you seem to agree are bad. Around the world. It shares features with entertainment, but unlike video games or TV, both direct and metastasized damage NPV is not speculative.
