False agency.

People who go to casinos to win think they are making choices, but most of their choices have been designed by default by the setup. Same goes with social media apps, streaming apps and food companies.

The most dangerous games are the ones where we feel we have agency but don't. This false sense of agency is a trap.

We think we are making choices. Everything comes down to our willpower and decision making. But we hardly have any agency in these games.

The only way to win at these games is to not play them in the first place.
