I'm a humanist. This game isn't the correct way to go about something like this, clearly. Some say its because of cities being over populated; some say its because we have gotten selfish, entitled, and lazy as a society. Although those things are true in of themselves, correlation doesn't equal causation. We are capable of doing things much better and all the people of the world could be having better lives. Part of the problem is just different ideas about how to do it and what to do. And something like this doesn't solve anything. Furthermore, something like 80% of lottery winners are flat broke within 2 years anyway. Did you know the direct translation of the farewell saying in Chinese is not 'good bye' but is actually "I hope you get rich"? I know this is a South Korean show, but I'm just giving example as to how ingrained the desire to achieve unimaginable wealth is in some cultures. The belief that wealth will solve your problems has been around forever. And the egocentric idea that your problems are more important than the problems of others is also deeply ingrained. The rub is that people don't get that the ultra-wealthy are a very bored group of people. So bored that they stick their noses into things they have no right to be sticking it, like politics. Or like this show is showing us, gambling on the deaths of the severely improvised because they see them as worth nothing. Something on this scale cannot exist today, true. But dark things at the expense of human life do happen in the world still. There is a rule of thumb about secrets: "3 people can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead." Its also important to understand that different cultures have different ideas on the value of human life. Plus, historically, human life was considered very cheap in that arbitrary value. TLDR for the below: Life sucks then you die, lol. The problem is in the idea that human life must be quantified. Life consumes resources and resources are finite (sort of). Traditionally, you would support your own consumption. However, resources continue to flux in value and the ability to consume becomes ever increasingly more complex and unaffordable. Because of this 'ever in flux' equation, certain values can decrease to compensate, based on their contribution. That is how this idea, that humans that do not add to the value of society, deserve less (including compassion), and it has gotten out of hand. Compound that idea with personal desires, marketing, advertising, jealousy, impulses, poor education on actual life skills, mental and physical health, addictions, not enough space, accidents, infrastructure, law suits, banking, prison systems, international affairs and trade, fraud, scams, "keeping up with the jones's", travel, real estate, corporations, and government. Its a mess of an equation. And so it was decided, long before any one of us were born, that humans need to be assigned a value and that value will be recorded with each birth certificate. The birth certificate was created in the early 1900's but it wasn't until after the Great Depression, mid-1930's, that the federal government assigned a value to each citizen, per birth certificate. That value was how the government was able to create wealth (add to the treasury) in order to pay for the repairs of society and to rebuild a circulating economy. The value of life is subjective and is therefore unethical to truly be quantify, but the system in place requires it to be, so a base value is given to every person born (with a birth certificate). With every birth, a value is added to the circulation of the economy. With every event that happens in a person's life that is recorded (like getting a job or taking loans), including events that do not occur (if you don't get married), that value is adjusted up or down over the course of a person's life. In a nutshell, that is how the system works. This is one of many reasons a country gets so concerned if birth rates drop, as well as to why a country would encourage procreation but lack encouraging care for an individual after they are born. Births increase the projected value of a society but care for a person after they are born is a decrease in value because it costs resources. This is one of the roots of why some people rationalize letting the impoverished and disabled just die off. According to this equation, they are a drain on resources and do not provide enough to balance out that drain. Of course, there is enough to take care of us, it just would mean tax dollars going to those services but the distribution of tax dollars is highly politicized and slathered in decades of misinformation in order to keep the masses voting for the current system. Did you know that the news used to be funded as a non-profit organization by the federal government, then around the 1950's-1960's the funding was cutoff and news outlets had to go to the privatized advertisers for funding instead. There is video evidence of news broadcasters pleading to the American people to donate to your news stations to keep them unbiased. Some states provide some funding to channels like PBS and NPR but they rely almost completely on donations now and even that doesn't pan out every year. In short, the majority continues to vote that they don't want to contribute to helping each other. I say majority but really its more about the people that can buy the people we vote for and what they want to happen rather than what the actual majority wants but I digress, lol.

The desperation over debt can be overwhelming. Some people would do anything to keep a roof over their kids heads. oof. Last time they had a married couple. I remember Natalie almost instantly burst in to tears when they had to play against each other. This time it's a mother n son. OUCH!

I think the vast majority of regular people would not do what these people do in the games. However, the games are not played by regular every day people. They choose the most desperate people in society for a reason. I do believe that the show is pretty accurate for how people would behave and decide when it’s all people at the end of their rope. Loan sharks will hurt you and your family to get their money. If they leave without enough money they are risking everything anyway so they might as well keep playing.

I'm not sure if you end up realizing this later. But the player that Kang No-eul (Soldier 011) got distracted by was the father of the girl with cancer.

Captain, can you please take us out in your civilian fishing ship and land me and my platoon of heavily armed mercenary contractors on an island where we have tracked a guy to meet an unknown amount of enemy forces?
