    I have a simple solution to this: I am not playing the game.

    Games are necessarily voluntary, otherwise they’re something else. Just because someone wrote in the rules of the game that everyone is playing doesn’t make it true.

        Yes it does according to the principle of voluntary participation.

        If you have a different principle you want to propose that explains how a person - or all people - can be forced into playing a game just because someone said so, then we can discuss it.

            As long as we don’t accept your loose metaphor as reality then no, life isn’t a game.
