>Right... This may have been of interest and gone "viral" 150 years ago, but I fail to see how it's of much interest today...

And then you go to someplace like Vegas and see people playing in some kinds of games and losing it all. One example of how it can be of interest today.

Or you see young people be X times more productive than another, because they don't waste their time playing some BS console game. Another example.



On the other hand, I doubt they could have imagined the riches earned by professional athletes today. And what about professional gamers? I think they're heads might explode.


True, but since those are 1 in a million or less, their advice still holds.

(Except for people who always assume the will be the exception -- Vegas is full of them also).
