The Infinite Mindset
James Carson, a philosopher who used to teach at NYU for many years, he's 87 now. He theorized in 1986 about these two types of games, finite games and infinite games. A finite game is defined as known players, fixed rules and an agreed upon objective. The goal is to win and if there's a winner, there has to be a loser,. Then you have an infinite game. There's no finish line. And so when we view the other players as competitors, it's a finite mindset because that means we want to beat them Because that's what competitors are for.
