Life is open world: choose your own adventure

(can we figure out a way for Bartle Taxonomy "killers" to spend their effort battling each other? to what extent is that what "sport" is already about?)

the three legs of joy are

>connection, openness, and love

What if Sisyphus lacked anyone of these.

Was the globalist saint unable to rationalize out of suffering the killer-instinct? (Have not read R&S but that was written when he was suffering less?)

Meanwhile..

Math (or other similar disciplines) should strive to become a spectator sport!!

    Oops, https://bigthink.com/the-well/why-joy-is-stronger-than-happi... is 404ing for me this morning...

    I think fencing may well become a spectator sport before maths! (they try, with plexi masks, but I don't think adding faces will help at all: the basic problem is it's a different way of observing and a different way of acting to almost all peoples' experience) Koerner doesn't believe maths is a spectator sport even for professional mathematicians: https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~twk10/Lecture.pdf#page=5

    > The first and most important thing is to remember that most mathematicians are lost most of the time during lectures. (If you do not believe me, ask around.) Attending a mathematics lecture is like walking through a thunderstorm at night. Most of the time you are lost, wet and miserable but at rare intervals there is a flash of lightning and the whole countryside is lit up.
