496. This is a similar case to that of
showing that it has no meaning to say that a game has always been played wrong.
to doubt something is not to show that it
is wrong –
it is simply to question what is going on
saying that a game has always been played
wrong is senseless –
as senseless as saying that it is always
played right
we do not play with certainty – right or
wrong
and despite the fact that yes a game will
be structured by rules –
the essence of any game is its uncertainty
philosophically the very point of playing a
game –
is just that uncertainty is not diminished
by rules
what we learn from games is that whatever
the rules –
we operate in uncertainty
