        Stuart Brown’s book on play. It’s quite good: https://amzn.to/3aTg1RC

        Can’t imagine that environment is particularly good for the professor’s creativity either. The tenure track pathway seems like hell, forcing you to squeeze out flashy publications above all else

        Yes, I’m mostly no longer close to anyone involved, but from afar universities increasingly seem like hell realms

        I’m suddenly reminded of the time my best friend, my boyfriend, and I talked the teachers running the Shakespeare Festival into letting us be a roving swordfight performance

        I mean, like, the previous year I'd directed the first full play they'd ever had, rather than just a scene. (Usual format was three scenes per English class period, students picked which scenes they went to see.) I set Macbeth in the Star Wars universe and it was epic.

        College admissions (and job interviews) are multipolar traps. As competition gets intense, more and more students are forced to study to the test and be less original. College prep businesses and books that teach you how to “crack“ coding interviews exacerbate thispic.twitter.com/SASacuYeUx

        Can Stanford realize that Stanford, and every other private university, is the proximate cause of the zero sum competition that led to this?

        Such malaise feels almost endemic (not just college students), yet difficult to talk about because it’s hard to specify concretely, or articulate.

        I’d think that people with playful minds, who are not *laser* focused on doing what they’re told and pleasing professors, etc, do not get into Stanford in the 1st place. The admissions process would aggressively screen out people who prioritize incorporating fun into their lives.
