What would happen if everybody left their jobs overnight and started playing WoW? Other than Blizzard having to open thousands of new realms.

Of course not everybody will quit their job to play a videogame, but what if a significant % of workers were simply "lost" overnight?

If you look at the tragectory of humans from star dust, it's clear the pattern is progress

We are progress, it's the inability to progress that is the problem for a lot of us

If we break down that barrier then wow like things that supply fake progress will be less relevant
