I'm just laying on the grass
yeah, and then you get up
What are you going to do with no weapon?
Ding, ding, ding
Okay, let's do another round
with no weapons.
I give you full health back.
Another round full health both of us.
A little house with a school bus
that rides back and forth through the town.
Right here we have the grocery store
if you can look in there.
With a pathway and a stone pool.
And if we look inside the house
with a neatly-made bed which I know is not realistic.
With the mother who is an accountant
and the father who is a
marine biologist.
In clay world, different that this world,
sometimes it's winter, sometimes it's fall
sometimes it's summer sometimes it's spring.
All of these can be happening in different places all over.
Three hundred dollars.
You get Water Works.
Water Works, Electric Company, St. Charles Place, Virginia Avenue
The kids who are involved with Lego
they practically subsume their consciousness into a little plastic thing in their hand.
They race around with a little ship that they put together
using 8 by 2 bricks
and are so involved that they're not really aware of the world
except as an aspect of their game
which is part of deep play I think
You're aware but only as much as you need to be
to not kill yourself and keep yourself
embroiled in your game.
Deep play is controlled chaos.
You have constant churning turmoil
in the fantasy-world that you're involved in
and you're so
engrossed in it
that nothing else really matters.
Learning is what happens when you're doing something else.
It's an unusual concept that many people don't understand
but really what it is is when you're so involved
in the game that you're playing or the activity that you're participating in
you sort of forget that it's a game
that it comes to life in a way that
can only happen when you do it for yourself.
It's not restrained by
barriers between ideas, barriers between
aspects of knowledge.
You aren't playing a game that involves
astrophysics, you're just playing and
the context that you're in, in the game
involves astrophysics, it involves
navigation, it involves tactical thinking
it involves straight physics, any number of things
