weekend inspo in the feed for me this weekend > paidia: free, spontaneous, unstructured play. The kind with no winner, no score, and no optimisation. > … the full spectrum of play: from agôn (competition) and alea (chance), to mimicry (role-playing) and ilinx (vertigo and disorientation). All four types sit on a continuum between paidia (complete improvisation) and ludus (structured rules). Good read in the feed for the start of a 3-day weekend Read it… or go straight to paidia since the piece shows the flex of scholarship lol https://aeon.co/essays/play-is-doing-its-work-even-if-were-not-keeping-score Caillois Nguyen Huizinga Winnicott Schiller Aquinas Nietzsche Aristotle Rousseau Einstein
