2025-10-19Infinite play // Finite play
1—In flow // Anxious
2—Relaxing // Grasping
3—Surrendering // "Trying"
4—Exploring // Exploiting
5—Others are comrades // Others are tools
6—Unconditional love // Transactional
7—Integrity over Gain // Gain over Integrity (defection)
8—Detached from outcomes // Attached to outcomes
9—Not self-coercive // Self-coercive
10—Can be satisfied with what is (yet still strive for more) // Unsatisfiable grasping for more
Everyone plays the infinite game, but some grasp at finite games too.
Insecurity incentivizes grasping.
