For me, the good part of the article started in the section “The Meta in Real Life.” I think President Obama played a meta game using technology to win election. President Trump played a meta game using skills developed as a TV host to win election. I think, in a way, that Peter Thiel’s thesis in the book “Zero to One” is also about playing a meta game to develop monopoly type businesses. I have always loved using Lisp languages and in a sense continually extending a language to “meet the problem to be solved” is another form of meta game. Rise above the fray, look at things from high altitude, be a good generalist, and win. Good article.
