I've realized I'm going to go to my grave never really -- on a fundamental, atomic level -- comprehending the appeal of watching pro sports. I like *playing* sports. But there's something missing in my psyche when it comes to watching them https://twitter.com/emilynussbaum/status/1005255565583486977 …

That all makes enormous sense! And it would be good to talk about it. I think I intellectually understand it -- not least because I've read your writing on this! But I think the confusion I have in "getting" it is that I don't feel any of that myself ...

.. in the presence of pro sports, despite having exactly all those basic human needs: curiosity/hope, need for and enjoyment of community, desire to feel part of something bigger than myself. I find it a bit mysterious

Also if this need is fulfilled elsewhere ... No sports needed?

Probably, yes -- there's clearly gotta be other stuff doing that for me, in other domains
