Teaching the Concept of Finite and Infinite Games
In life, there are two types of games - finite and infinite. Finite games have a clear endpoint, while infinite games continue indefinitely. People focused on finite games seek to win, while those in infinite games prioritize context, relationships, and trust. Living life as an infinite game, as discussed by Tobias Lutke on the Daily Stoke podcast, involves playing for the long term. The podcast highlights the challenge of balancing the idea of education as an infinite game, emphasizing learning for life, with societal pressures that promote winning finite games such as grades, GPAs, and career success.
