One... More... Turn...

I have played one game of Civ in my life. After spending the better part of a weekend with it, I realized the “one more turn” thing was too addictive for me and decided it was best if I never play the game again.

I hurt my finger from clicking so much once night and haven't been willing to go back. It was a bit too addictive, but ngl, playing it with just my brain sounds interesting. I'm just left thinking, what's the catch? What "ergo" issues might come up from using this thing for hours to do something repetitive? None? Big, if true

Three was an interview/presentation at neuralink where people asked him some questions.

Someone asked him what it felt like to use it, and he tried to explain, but it came down to it was too complicated to fully explain it.

Asking him if it caused any sort of fatigue would have been a amazing question.
