“A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play… Infinite players are not serious actors in any story, but the joyful poets of a story that continues to originate what they cannot finish.” Dan, do you see Cecile as trying to “win” at simplicity? Or being too serious?? Or could you elaborate on your comment please? Thank you.

What a terrific message! Way to go, Janaia and Cecile. Despite moments of anger and despair at the state of the world, I often think about how there is such a joy in wanting less stuff and living more simply, and that peak oil is a blessing! Thank you for spreading the good news, Peak Moment.

If I could stop and chat with Cecile, I would encourage her to read Finite and Infinite Games. She seems to have succeeded in making simplicity a finite game.
