Metagame

When participating in any game (activities within a certain «field» and «rules»), it is important...

when performing in-game actions and setting in-game goals, first of all, to perform actions and be guided by the goals of the metagame (life).

Do not get absorbed in playing! Remember yourself!

Examples:

1. During your lunch break you play with your boss his favorite game – say, chess. And you understand – you can easily win. But the boss is freaked out by his superiors, he is tired – and if you «kick» him now, he will either start making mistakes (which is inconvenient) or get angry (which is unpleasant). Therefore, from the point of view of the metagame of life, the goal in a chess game will be not to win (as it stands from the game rules), but to lose – softly and tactfully.

2. You are driving along the road, you need to move left. Night, the road is empty, there are no controlling cameras. Solid double line. For moving to the left according to the rules – you need to make a 1.5 km long detour, and the store will close soon. Therefore, from the point of view of the metagame of life, the rule will not be «to avoid crossing the solid double line», but «to turn left crossing the solid double line».

The feeling that your life is the one_metagame – allows you to subtly and accurately make decisions of any complexity at any moment in time.

And, in fact, to live.
