anyway, the intended takeaways here are 1. play is essential to doing and thinking correctly 2. not-play is also necessary sometimes but less often than you might think 3. most of the least effective and worst stuff in the discourse is a failure to play

very strongly endorse!!! some unsolicited play takes 1. play is good 2. a lot of what looks like seriousness is actually play for weirdos 3. a lot of play gets turned into seriousness by mistake and then it's no fun anymore 4. grey tribe is defined by playing differently

The biggest change in my worldview is to be less moralizing. I used to primarily judge things/people/ideas as good or bad. Now I'm much more likely to view them as functional in a particular ecosystem.
