In a Nutshell

That pretty much demonstrates why I refused to play sports in school. I wanted and loved the physical exertion and challenge, but the fucked up politics made it impossible for me to trust the We-space. 

I predict that this "problem" will never change. Why? Because for millions it isn't a problem at all. This IS the Game. The little ball that they're bouncing back and forth is a distraction from the Real Game of: get one over on the enemy without the Ref catching you. 

Implying that this should be "solved" is naive. 

I hate to say this, but this is a very primitive art and sport seems to be the safest space to practice such primitive arts. It's a closed space and time and the people who play are wearing colors that distinguish them from the normal population. I suggest wasting less time and energy on making these players play fair and more time and energy on getting the corporate players and the speed-dating players play fair. Make them wear colors when they're on the field and penalize them when they are caught. That would be much better than a promotion or a "High-5".

If the Quads can contain all of what's real in this Game, then why isn't this being applied to the others? Anyone up for writing an article on the Quads solving the Oil Industry Game?

Hi  Federico,

Evidently you missed an earlier post on this subject. Here's a link to it: johnwashere

The latest news is that FIFA officials have apologized for several badly missed calls. These so-called field generals have now gone the way of Stanley McCrystal, and won't be back for the rest of the world cup. As a result of this malfeasance i understand that FIFA is actually considering employing technological assistance, as in another sports like tennis, football and baseball. (Yikes even the Congress of the United States has C-SPAN!)

If this trend keeps up maybe even the Supreme Court of the United States will allow cameras into its proceedings; but i wouldn't bet any money on that happening.

Warmly,

Charles

yes!!!

That's pretty rad! The New York Times is read by tens of millions of people, not to mention, the world cup and soccer is a subject that literally billions of people are interested in globally. This insures that an internet search will lead at least tens of millions to the seeds of integral thought, which is devastating for ignorance, and at the same time, enlightening for ignorance. Isn't that how the story always goes?

 

Very exciting
