Another way of appreciating the evaporative cooling effect that plagues all communities eventually: infinite-game players get their mentions clogged up by finite-game players, and leave, go dark, or go private

Infinite game players seek new possibilities, new interpretations, new ways of seeing, are playful and experimental, nourish the spirit of the game Finite game players score points by nitpicking, and by soullessly enforcing the letter of the gamehttps://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1131979347898691584?s=21 …

For a well-balanced info-diet, it makes sense to have loosely about 50/50 infinite vs finite players on your radar
Problem is that finite players outnumber infinite ones something like 20:1
Also, every infinite player is different, most finite players are the same

So *actually* you only need like 1-2 nitpick/critic in a roomful of infinite players Unfortunately 95%+ of nitpickers think very highly of their point of view and the important public service that they provide The end result IMO is a sort of Taleb rage that looks like insanity

I want to believe that if you just have 1-2 FPs in a room of IPs, they will get upgraded, or at least batted about like a cat toy
