A very compact way to explain mediocrity philosophy is this: non-attachment to finite games (5 words). Unfortunately those who can’t process the Carse reference will almost certainly misunderstand it.
Carse references are like dependencies on a major library.

the real key to life is distinguishing the finite games from the infinite games, I wonder if someone has written about this?

Are you sure you’re talking about the same thing? Carse is not finite/infinite in the game theoretic sense but a mostly unrelated metaphysical sense.

This is incredibly interesting. Which of his books would you recommend starting off with? Finite and Infinite Games or something else?

Technically there’s only one infinite game and attachment to it is simply desire to continue living (or more broadly, remain part of the life process...)
