Todd SuomelaSome connecting thoughts to one of my favorite books, Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse.

As I noted above, Carse insightfully points out that boundaries are necessary for finite games while infinite game players seek to undermine all boundaries. Given my preoccupation with the importance of edges, this might appear to be a contradiction. To be clear, I am drawn to edges (what Carse labels as horizons) precisely because they generate possibility, not because they define limits. Edges are fertile ground for an infinite game that draws out potential and possibility in part because finite game players tend to avoid them and they attract those who are more excited by infinite games.

"Infinite players do not oppose the actions of others, but initiate actions of their own in such a way that others will respond by initiating their own" - don't fight with the finites, the old institutions, play in the spaces, create anew, disruptively, innovatively
