Precisely. That's why "a good life" is better understood as a long term optimization of the game of games.

Reminding that capacity for delayed gratification is a predictor of success as it can provide better overall balance in that game of all games when compared with optimal instant gratification only.

My understanding is that bugs are not actually drawn to light, but rather attempt to fly at a fixed angle to light, roughly perpendicular to it. When the light is the Moon, that keeps them flying in more or less a straight line. But when the light is close to them, they turn to keep the light at that fixed angle and consequently spiral in towards it.
