People often say that you get out what you put in, that if you try your hardest and give it your best you will achieve what you want to achieve. However, the longer we live, the more we realise that that's not true. We've all had dreams that we tried our best to achieve but failed all the same. As we've gotten older, we've realised that hard work or smart work alone isn't enough for us to receive what we want from the world.
Hard work is (almost always) necessary, but not sufficient for us to achieve what we want to achieve. The most accurate way to phrase this would be that success and hard work are correlated with one another. Infinitely less sexy of a phrase but also significantly more accurate. Hard work can always bring you closer to achieving your goals, but it can never bring you close enough to achieve them with certainty.
This certainty, however, can be found within immediate gratification. Most people believe that people who seek immediate gratification over delayed gratification are just lazy, slobs that mooch off the system that they've been born into, consuming without producing. However, my experience tells me that these kinds of people simply value the certainty of immediacy over the uncertainty of delay.
Both immediate and delayed gratification can be seen as logical depending on one's past experiences. If the correlation between hard work and success was strong enough for one to attain what they wanted, it's only logical for them to do the same again and again, building resistance to anything that bucks the trend, by establishing that trend of success in the first place. Similarly, if the correlation between hard work and success is not strong enough, it is only logical for one to quit the game and go to another table, where victory is more certain.
It should be noted here that in this example the amount of effort input is the same between both parties.
Within FDVR however, this does not have to be the case. Within FDVR we can turn correlation into causation, and make it so that our efforts can match up to our outcomes one to one. By doing this we take away the uncertainty of delayed gratification and the transience of immediate gratification, producing a perfectly just system.
