Most living things seem most alive when they use surplus energy to play. Non-living things and egregores are hardest to anthropomorphize when they exhibit no behaviors that can be interpreted as play.

Markets are the most playful anthropomorphizable entities. Corporations may throw parties where humans can play, and allow some employees to be playful in how they do their jobs, but don’t exhibit much play-like behavior at emergent level.

Things that seem to reflect absurd priorities or idiosyncratic desires that do not follow from utilitarian concerns and seem like burning off energy
