I enjoyed reading this, but was left with the same feeling that i had at the end of the 1983 film WarGames, namely: "...the only winning move is not to play..." I acknowledge this post is not exactly saying that...but it still feels a little flattening to arrive at that point. (With all apologies and respect to the author, i'm referring to my feelings on the suggestions, that's all.)
- alwaysbeconsing 4y agoI agree with your summary but to me it seems like a useful point of insight. Analogous to the saying "when you find yourself in a hole that's getting deeper the first thing to do is stop digging". Something that seems like common sense but is hard to grasp when you're in the hole, unless someone explicitly points it out. One might also decide that this article is wrong, but it could still be worth considering the point to reject it.
- whateveruserk 4y agothe perspective i take is more like.. “the only winning move is to play. not analyze how you play or hold yourself to how you once planned to play.” here that would mean releasing things, and fully enjoying whatever it is you are able to read/participate in. mainly not grasping at everything
