And of course, strictly speaking, there's still no actual "win" block. And the bi-winning block is almost impossible to get to as it requires you to be rich or be extremely lucky and talented. And even then you have to count as "very" rich AND actually have your money make you happy. Really, wherever you start and whatever choices you make, you're going to lose. Even if you're "Bi-winning" it's less a case of actually winning but rather deluding yourself into thinking that you're winning.
Yeah, I was aiming for deeper meaning beyond a quick laugh and comment on modern society. Note how despite being a flowchart showing how to "Win at Life" that there's no win condition, that the closest thing to a victory is "Bi-winning", which itself is almost impossible to get to, despite being very simple, and is not a true victory, instead carrying connotations of insanity and delusions of grandeur rather than truly achieving success.
Likewise note that on the "Rebel?" decision branch, if you choose "yes", although the flow chart asks whether it was successful, the only choice is failure. Not only does this highlight the futility in the long term of rebellion (replace the corrupt overlords, someone else will become corrupt; or put evil to rest only for it to rise again with your passing) but also that quite often life, our choices are meaningless and we are sandboxed into specific paths. The "how rich?" query only has the answer of "very" because when it comes down to it, real power doesn't come to those with plenty of money of spare, it comes to those who are truly overflowing with it and unless you are the 1%, you might as well be the rest of the population. You live a little easier but you can't exactly go and bribe your way into power or buy your own private island.
...etc, etc, insert further social commentary and musings here.
