Watts' Game Theory

It comes, then, to this : that to be "viable", livable,or merely practical, life must be lived as a game... it must be lived in the spirit of play rather than work, and the conflicts which it involves must be carried on in the realization that no species, or party to a game, can survive without its natural antagonists, its beloved enemies, its indispensable opponents. p124

... we do not play the Game of Black and White. The universal game of up/down, on/off, solid/space and each/all. Instead, we play the game of Black versus White or, more usually, White versus Black... but the game "White must win" is no longer a game. It is a fight. p31

My friend Armando introduced me to Alan Watts shortly after i arrived at town. The depth of conversation was conceptual rather than technical, so i never actually read Watts philosophy, i took it in on the fly. I had the opportunity to read Watts' The Book yesterday and found that he was writing about the same concepts that i have been thinking about and expanding upon. His metaphorical explanation of meta-physics was written in 1967, 45 years ago. I do not believe in coincidence, this realization gives me solace that i have achieved a comprehension that i know what i am talking about, even though you may not get it the way i get it.
