I remember being discriminated against in job interviews because I said I played video games. I didn't even bring it up, they asked me, I said yes innocently not knowing any better. Interviewer treated me like a child afterwards and rudely rejected me at the end.

[@PenPineappleApplePen007]

If an interviewer does that then they probably have a very bad work environment and you are better off working someplace else. I’ve read that you actually can put it in a resume that you’ve been a clan leader in a popular online game. That’s because it shows leadership skills.

[@123mandalore777]

@@PenPineappleApplePen007 Man I wish I was born 10 years later. While not a clan leader, I've played in tons of clans were teamwork was absolutely necessary, where you had to really work together as a team or you are going to lose the match. I did that stuff all the time in online games for years and ended up developing a lot of good teamwork skills that I never got to use outside of a video game. I remember multiple times hardpulling matches by playing as team leader and just coordinating guys and getting big victory streaks because of it. It's definitely a hard pain to carry in life knowing you have a skillset, but having it be totally unrecognized by your country of origin (Australia), and even just trying to assert that you have these skills will get you ridiculed and discriminated against. So therefore, you will never be able to continue developing the skill, help others with your skill or even be recognized for your skill, purely because you were born in society that aggressively maintains that digitally learned skills aren't real.

[@123mandalore777]

@@PenPineappleApplePen007 I replied to you the other day and it got deleted. So sick of that happening on this website. I only noticed because of the new reply above me. Yes I've been in clans in video games before and learned a lot of leadership skills from them. I've never been able to transition those skills to reality however because where I live in Australia, digitally learned skills are not recognized so you are treated like a loser instead. They only recognize expensive pieces of paper and past gainful employment (specifically gainful, I found out the hardway that volunteer work doesn't matter for getting a job since it's not gainful, and somehow in the delusional minds of Australia's elite this matters).

[@123mandalore777]

@imeverywhereandnowhere56 Yeah I had the same experiences. I thought it was best to go the "not much, nothing etc" route too, but then they get on you for not being sociable and start accusing you of not wanting to hang out and not being a team member. It's really impossible sometimes.

[@4K_HDR_GAMING]

What Elon says is 100% true. When you concentrate fully during an online PvP or PvE game, especially at the highest difficulty levels, there's no room left for any other thoughts. If you get distracted, you’ll lose. Personally, I use games to calm myself down and as a distraction from anger, frustration, sadness, and other emotions. It’s like an escape, at least temporarily. After I’m done and return to the real world, I'm in a calmer state, which helps me see things more clearly. As a result, the decisions I make afterward are more sound.

I am a 58 yo Hispano French woman and I started playing D&D in my youth. Then I had a computer and a PS and loved gaming. As I moved to the UK ( with my British husband) and got on with long hours career and life, I stopped gaming. I got back to gaming years ago, first on iPad ( loved the spiderweb RPGs with no inApp purchase!) then my husband got me an Xbox. Now I have my game room! Video games are for every one. I spend too much time on ESO, Skyrim, etc… so many games to discover that I missed while working. Lots of catch up to do. There is no age for gaming. It is pure pleasure, frustration, discovery, thinking, dying ( I am good at dying! ) etc… love it. Sure I would also love to have a table top gang to play with ( as in my youth playing D&D) but hard to find so I settle with just online and solo games.

[@sternenherz]

@7:43 THIS is the most important thing though. This has to be mentioned everytime Video games are mentioned as helpful tools. They ARE dangerous for anyone who is prone to addiction. They CAN be detrimental to health and wellbeing in the most nasty way. They have to be treated with great caution. Some few people can NOT even use videogames "in moderation" and have to stop completely (just as joe Rogan himself). A balanced view includes both sides of the coin at all times.

[@nicholasbullock1709]

In the 90s when gaming was growing further beyond “it’s just a fad”, the news would follow stories about gaming being a benefit or distraction for gamers. Both kids and parents discussed the hand eye coordination and memory recall benefits of gaming. In addition to the story telling and creativity that helped with growing imagination. It’s interesting that people now are acting like this is just now being discovered as benefits we never realized were there all along. It’s good, it’s just not new.

[@L0n3W0lfBl4ck]

I think it’s because back in the 90s the media focused more on the negatives, or trying to blame games for bad behaviour.

[@TheWolfDude91]

My nephew who started playing video games since he was 5, (7 now and in the first grade) on PlayStation 4 that I have, exploded in one whole year, he learned English, which is not our native language, he learned to read and write latin, then he learned cyrilic, made a lot of friends online, speaks English with an accent, and obliterated the 1st grade of school like it was nothing, I watched him grow through playing video games for 1 year, dude became a little genius. My sister limited his exposure and time for video games to make it balanced but he grew so much faster then his classmates, some of them still can't read or write lol and he knew that before starting school, on a peak perfect level almost.

You should watch a documentary called "The Remarkable Life Of Ibelin". A story about a young gamer born with a degenrative muscular disease and how online gaming helped him. A very moving story made in a way that has never been done before.

[@sephiroth8377]

Video games helped me read (FF7) and then all these years later the same game helped my daughter read. Shes now learning about actions and consequences like what happens if she shoots at a stranger in GTA online Racing games helped with lefts and rights, tactic games helped with planning ahead, even rocket league helped with momentum and trajectory (she does insane jump boost hits). So many games can teach so many things that translate to real life Just recently got Empire of the Ants... An ant drowning lead to her researching ants, she thought they could swim. She showed me that Fire Ants make boats by connecting together, Field Ants walk on water and a species of ant can survive for 48 hours under water

[@thenonexistinghero]

There's already been research on this for quite a while proving that playing videogames help with all kinds of cognitive development and hand-eye-coordination. I thought you knew already though. Back when I was studying psychology there was very limited research on it. Had I actually finished it, I likely would've done all kinds of research related to this. Most people thought it was ridiculous when I mentioned that I thought videogames would be a great help against preventing or slowing down dementia and other types of diseases like that, but by now it's basically a well-established fact. But of course, the types of games you play do matter. And it's those games filled to the brim with scummy tactics that encourage addiction that aren't actually all that fun and/or challenging that don't provide any benefits.

[@Bob11212-y]

[@Mr._Anderpson]

There was a mom & pop convenience store in our rural community back in the 80s which had two stand-up video games and two pinball machines. Whoever had the high score on each of those games received a free six-pack of beer. My dad fed me quarters so I could rock the score on Centipede or Galaga and earn him free (or discounted, after the coins spent) beer. If I had the high score on more than one, I'd get an 8-pack of bottled Mountain Dew. Yes, bottles came in cases of 8 back then. Even if the only benefit of a video game was happiness and laughing with friends and family, that would be enough.

I treat games like learning a skill. The more information you have to assimilate and master, the better. It’s helped me learn fast reaction, decision making through simulations like CoD, and even meditate on things like personal finances by playing strategy games where you manage an economy. It’s also the only way I can get myself to sit down and listen to podcasts like Joe Rogan. Yet it’s not kosher in society. Shame.

[@paladin0]

This reminds me of the concept of focused vs diffused thinking. Sometimes to tackle a problem you need to let your brain process information in the background rather than trying to solve it through brute force.

[@jericho1-4]

As a parent I see video games as a strategic tool that has long been shunned unnecessarily, While yes their are cognitive benefits there are others that often don't get the same acknowledgement. Take resource management and world building for an example, there are literal societies that have been built from the ground up by gamers on even some of the most available games like Minecraft and Roblox. Look at games that force players to worry about their health and resources in PVE titles. All of this can be applied to real world dynamic decision making and skill sets that gamers see as a needed function IRL. I play with all six of my children who range in age from 19 to 6 years old and the have seen the benefits and IRL applications they bring to teaching them about not only games but cultures societies that they might otherwise not have exposure to.

[@boston19801]

As a gamer, gaming is neither good nor bad.. It depends.

[@MarcoAntonio-if1kd]

As a 55 year old gamer, to me gaming is the best thing in life, always was, always will be... My gamer friends think the same, nothing beats coming home after a hard days work, take a shower, dinner and sit down to play a game before bed. Divorced, no children, no debt, got my place to live, food in the fridge, no stress/drama at home. Had I known then what I know now, I would have not married at all, because being single is the best thing for a man, no matter what others say otherwise. Without games, my life would be very sad IMO.

[@sevenfacedsin]

I've always supported the cognitive and hand eye coordination development and utilization involved with gaming, but more so now that I have personally experienced it. I've been playing games for over 30 years at this point, but in recent years, the benefit became more apparent. In 2022 I got nailed with a horrible case of Lyme disease that was essentially a shotgun blast to my nervous system, it caused serious brain fog, and Parkinson's like symptoms. Games, especially Diablo 2 and 3 can bring me out of the brain fog and restore cognitive function, and the use of the controller can ease the tremors and stave off some of the crippling fatigue from a damaged autonomic nervous system. My life and world have been completely destroyed; video games are they only thing really keeping me afloat right now.

There are so many benefits. I'm convinced I would be nowhere near as successful without videogames in my life. One game in particular that I know helped me tremendously is EverQuest back in the day.

When I was fighting the final boss Murai in Ninja Gaiden Black after many many hours, I was in a trance like state and untouchable, I beat him easily and for one brief moment I felt like Neo in the Matrix... I played it for the first time in 15 years and I was terrible at the game. I don't have the time nor patience to get back to ninja master, but I recall the feeling was very memorable and exhilirating. true story.

I’m 68 an I play my Nintendo switch oied quite often including today on the train commuting from work. It helps with eye hand coordination, concentration and the satisfaction of completing a stage is a good feeling of accomplishment.

Computer gamers solve the most hard scientific problems in 15 seconds i read in scientific news reports.

Just as powerful as any media leveraging a metaphor to represent and discuss contentious topics. Best example would be Final Fantasy XIV (video game) and Dune (book). Latter, together with Celia S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy and Robert Silverberg's Majipoor Chronicles inspiring Warhammer 40k franchise.

In reality, the multiplication of experiences has reached a certain limit. In video games, this limit is much higher, and with VR and augmented reality, perhaps the efficiency would be much higher than 25%.

Clayton says these things about games because he loves to play them. I do too. But the truth is that just because running from a lion makes you a better runner doesn't mean you should risk showing up in front of a lion if you know what I'm saying. Looking at the screen makes your eyes bad. And that is not a good trade. All the things games help you, you can get elsewhere without losing your eyesight.

I used to play Starcraft 2 a lot back in the day, and there was a mod game in the arcade section called Star Battle. It was pretty sick, but to my point, there were a couple guys I would always play with that were going to med school. They were both pretty good from what I recall, so I'm sure they got through the grueling med school system and are now both top tier gynecologists. We do need more RTS games though. I miss the good old days of Command and Conquer : Generals. You know a game is awesome when China bans it.

Yep, just last week I told my Mom, "I can't become a surgeon without an XBOX MOM!!"

Love your channel. Couldn't agree more, games ftw.

[@minbari73]

I play games, but only ones i enjoy. Unfortunately, the ones i enjoy are considered "slop" by other, more knowledgable gamers that apparently know what's best for me.

I haven't seen Rogan's newest Musk podcast yet, but will be sure to soon! When you have one of the worlds smartest men talking about how video games can benefit the mind that is a win for gamers who of course also live a healthy life style!

I can personally vouch the power of video games has on me. It's helps be with my mood and depression. It's also helps me recharge and re focus on my work.

I cant watch TV and havent in years. I would always rather play games. Built an entire sim racing rig with motion simulation and VR. Its a great time to be a gamer
