Great I think I just upgraded the wrong thing, but that's cool. I'm not worried about it I'm just gonna hire a new dude to run my donut shop here in a second run that donut shop big dog
00:31
Running okay? Yeah, dude. I'm good. I'm making money. Are you kidding me? So Austin is playing the new game.
00:38
Well, it's not really a new game. No, it's so new to me though. You okay?
00:44
Yeah. Okay, Austin is playing Adventure Capitalist. I got people running my stuff right now. I got like six managers.
00:49
Yes, you do. Yes, I do. The game is called Adventure Capitalist. It's on pretty much every mobile device ever.
00:57
I pretty much love capitalism now. In the PlayStation Store. And it's about capitalism.
01:03
Money, money, money, money. Which is about making money. Money. I like the music in the background.
01:08
You like the music. That's what really gets me. The music in the background really keeps you moving. It keeps me going. It keeps it exciting.
01:15
Look at all these donut shops. So the point of this game is to run these businesses.
01:22
And the more you run them, the more money you get. I got a solid management team. I'm going to take a break. Austin has bought managers and the managers start making the money for him.
01:32
And so the goal of the game is to, what, make money? That's what it looks like.
01:39
I'm making lots of it too. Look at all that. Look at that money. This one's just straight bringing in cash right now.
01:45
It's not even slowing down. Just the crazy thing for me about these games is, one, they're incredibly popular.
01:51
But also, they really don't have a story or a purpose. They just like occupy your mind.
01:57
That's all they do. Yeah, this is actually pretty disgusting. Like, the only thing...
02:03
Fancy toppings. The only thing this game does is it's on a loop. And it's just a mathematical equation that the more money you get, the more you put into that.
02:12
And it multiplies it. And then, after you've played for days and days and days, it's still essentially, you might as well essentially be at zero.
02:22
But the only difference is that number is higher every time. Right. But there's absolutely no purpose.
02:27
There's no reward. It's just useless. It's like a mental reward.
02:35
Right. But it's the opposite of capitalism in the sense that every time you're playing this game, you're not out grinding, making real money.
02:44
Right. Yeah. So it's like a capitalism suck. Yes. It gives me something to look forward to, though.
02:52
Because it's like a drug. It's literally like a drug. But a drug gives you an actual high.
02:59
There's a reward system in my brain that tells me once I hit the moon, I've accomplished something.
03:04
But you haven't. Not in real life. The moon starts at zero, and then you just do the same thing over and over again.
03:11
So you're telling me that this game just keeps going and going and going. It's just an infinite loop. That is just terrible. It's a drug.
03:17
This game is a drug. It's really bad. You need to stop playing this game. I do need to stop playing this game.
03:22
Yeah. Everything that this game is telling me right now is drugs. That's all
03:27
I can think about now. Hey, you can upgrade your donut shop. I can get a hockey team, though. Yeah, but get the donut shop.
03:33
Double that first. I'll take you to the donut shop. Now you can still get a hockey team.
03:38
Hockey team. Watch out, fam. All right. Here we go. Oh, my gosh.
03:43
It takes six minutes to get a dadgum tie. Oh, my goodness. Why are these games so popular,
03:50
Austin? Because it's like a drug. I just told you. It's literally like a drug. No, it's not a drug.
03:55
Because a drug gets you actually high. Yeah, but it alerts that reward system in your brain the same way.
04:02
It's doing the same thing. No, I don't think so. Do you really think so? Pornography. No. Yes, dude.
04:08
This game is pornography. No, I'm saying pornography, they equate pornography to drugs because it hits that reward system in your brain.
04:17
But there is no reward system in this game. Dude, I will keep playing this because I want to get to the moon.
04:23
There is no reward here, though. There is a reward here. You've deceived yourself into thinking that if you get a trillion dollars, that's a reward.
04:32
My brain thinks there's a reward in this game, but I am getting nothing. You're getting nothing.
04:38
Nothing. I'm watching a screen right now. Yeah, you're watching a screen. I'm not even learning anything. Let's be honest.
04:43
I'm literally just pushing buttons. And at this point, I'm not even pushing buttons. I'm just watching these lines go by.
04:48
And it's not even a good worldview of capitalism. No. No. No, it's not at all.
04:54
Where's taxes? There's no taxes in this game. I'm not getting taxed at all. I'm making money. There's no government trying to -
05:00
Profit times three, bro. There's no government trying to steal stuff from you in this game.
05:09
This game is, as I was saying, this game is not true capitalism. But, if you want to learn about true capitalism, visit
