40-55 psychographics pie chart 9%: winning bigly; everything is politics 20%: successful, smug, preachy 30%: exhausted; live for weekends/family, too tired to wonder whether they’re winning or losing 40%: losing, between bewildered+angry and depressed 1%: still have a soul

Statistically speaking, life defeats most people by the standards of whatever they define as their finite game. You may be in the minority that beat the house, but buy some infinite game insurance. Continuing to play will at some point become the main challenge, not winning.

I suppose another way to think of it is as a complicated mid-game as in chess with no theories, fewer big picture things to say and more plain grinding through to the end game which is of course easy since you can’t win that one 😆

Before you're 40 it's hard to imagine yourself as the player in a long game. Harder as a teen. The game seems immediate, short, like an RPG. Games you play with thumbs don't teach most of the lessons you need to endure, thrive, and contribute.
