i don't find the idea objectionable to say you're playing it as if it were a game but i see what you're getting at though because if if i'm treating it like a game and enjoying it how much more does it need to be to be called the game if not that very zero right so if like if i'm working on an assembly line and um it's just boring and tedious and like i'm like lucy riccardo when she's having to like put chocolates in the boxes or whatever in that classic game. I just in my mind to start pretending like there are little flies that i have to capture and i'm a frog i've made up a game
In this podcast we examine a recent argument for the view that chess is not, in fact, a game. We discuss the Grasshopper’s claim that all games must have a prelusory goal, as well as Skepticus’ objection to the giant Grasshopper concerning chess. We then turn to a broader analysis of the Suitsian account of games. Does the existence of illusory checkmates offer Grasshopper an avenue for replying to Skepticus? Should we bite the bullet and agree that chess is not a game? What is a lusory attitude? Is Tamler losing his mind? Why is David so giddy?
Plus – how should Arthur C. Clarke’s novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" affect our understanding of Kubrick’s movie? And a little more on Kanye.
