I noticed this when I went to a shopping mall that had two floors, had three escalators that went up and one that went down.

That’s gold , it’s like some form of trap.

The escalator going down was also in the opposite side of the exit.

Its… exactly this. Like, not even just a funny parallel, this is exactly what they are doing.

We are NPCs, trapped in their rollercoaster park.

I used to play Theme Park way back in time. I did the same thing, also made zig zag paths that went past the same burger joint four times so the peeps would eventually buy one. Mmm, Mc Donald’s…

we had something similar in the west, we have 2 elevators going up, but the going down elevators was on the opposite side of the where the up elevators, of making you go through the FOOD court, because everyone cant help themselves to food once in a while.

It’s grocery stores, too. I learned about Rushkoff’s “atmospherics” in Comm studies in college
