Last night, I lost $200 playing Aviator—again. Not because I didn’t know the rules, but because I forgot why I started flying. As someone who’s studied player psychology and behavioral economics, I’ve seen this pattern in myself and so many others: the thrill of rising above, the illusion of control, the quiet collapse when we lose sight of ourselves. This is not just a game—it’s a mirror. Let’s talk about how to fly with clarity, not just speed.
