We love games.
We love stories.
Competition is good.
Cooperation is better.
Stories precipitate change.
Human potential is the penultimate goal.
The same thing everywhere is less interesting.
Conservation of imperfection is the preservation of our humanity.
The next revolution…
is a gaming revolution.
