Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #
340
2011-08-08
(Monday
)Who won the Powerball? Which movie had the biggest opening weekend? Whom did the Bachelorette pick? Why are we so obsessed with winning?
Spiritual gambler Jason Anthony is developing games that deal with unwinning, drawing on James Carse's Finite and Infinite Games, alongside many other influences.
With Jason, let's discuss (FTW!):
- What's with this "win" obsession? Where's it from?
- How might we live differently? What's life without winning?
- Are cultures heading toward other measures of success or happiness? Who's ahead? :)
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
