The Dream vs Story Now!

[Ron Edwards]

Hello,

John, that means we're in agreement as well. I suggest that the distinction between your #1 and #2 isn't something that can be rigorously addressed, but rather a personal judgment that reflects one's aesthetic preferences.

Best,
Ron

I'm in agreement with John too.  However, I do think conclusions can be drawn from discussing options one and two, but as Gordon pointed out, not in this thread (heh.  hey look, I did forget my 'is').

Looks like I'm in agreement with Ian as well, if we're talking about marginal case play that may tend towards dysfunction.

John - I think it's an important point.  I think there are answers to your number 2 - and very strong answers - and so I don't see any futility at all.

I do think this thread has run it's course though - unless someone can think of more far reaching examples of Story Now disrupting the dream.

So John, new thread?

[Ron Edwards]

Hi there,

Actually, I'll answer that one, Ian. New thread indeed.

Thanks everyone,
Ron
