This is really interesting. Although I'm a tad put-off by the fact that he quotes Nietzsche and Freud. Don't know if he'd be citing them or critiquing them but both Nietzsche and Freud I cannot stand.

But I'm going to check this out, sounds fascinating.

It also makes me sad that although things like art, philosophy and music should be played as infinite games, in modern society and popular culture they are often 'finite.' Expressed as a means to gain fame, power and money instead of personal growth and experimentation. Great find though, can't wait to read it sometime.
