| Sep 30, 2019 at 21:45 | comment | added | sesquipedalias | @MarkBaker Thanks; "interesting" would definitely have been the more practical question : D ... But I'm really... interested : )... to see how far the concept can be pushed. I think a philosophical, introspective work can make acts of patience interesting, for example. Sure, how exactly to do this is worth thinking about in detail. But it's the inherent contradiction between excitement and patience that beguiles me. If you can make acts of patience exciting, you've done something special. Perhaps making them interesting is a good first step? | |
