When people missed working hard, they turned to fake physical work (gyms). So people now need some fake thinking work.

Except for eating and sleeping, all other human activities are fake now.

you forget about fake sleeping being loaded with fake dopamine hits before sleep AND broken sleep schedules; and eating fake ultraprocessed food instead of wholefoods.

Thanks for correcting. That completes the fake life pattern.

So, people fake things to get a fake life. Reminds me a Russian joke about factory workers. "They pretend to pay, and we pretend to work".

We've always been doing fake thinking work since the beginning, see: puzzles
