It’s time to play! Laurel and David extol the virtues of play, reaching past the derivative notion that play is a time waster and beneath "real work". By contrast, the research on play and personal practice reveal that play sits at the core of learning, creativity, and being. They also explore the importance of setting up the type of game and play framework (infinite vs. finite games), why the phrase “just play around with it” can feel like a trap rather than an invitation, and how play is actually a synonym for giving your all to the process of learning something new.

The song of the day is David’s "Laughing Meditation" sung by Laude.
