<p>This is really fun — have you played with making the tile position opinionated (not agnostic)?<p>i wonder if have the clues point to a starting square (e.g., "E5") would be better than the current "reveal" aid. The spatial information would become more helpful toward the end when the player is dealing with the words they need help on.</p>

<p>Building a Duolingo-like app to "learn from the greats, daily." (<a href="https://www.scrivium.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.scrivium.com</a>)<p>Until recently, it was cost-prohibitive to gamify topics with indefinite answers and progressions. As a result, "left-brained" topics have been gamified for years, but "right-brained" topics have resisted gamification. LLMs and generative AI unlock game economics for unstructured text.<p>Casual gaming is only category outpacing passive, social media. The most direct way to elevate humanity's media appetite is to turn human greatness into casual games.</p>

<p>We tried to partner recently to co-create interactive books with a well-known classical education influencer on X.<p>His job was to select passages from books and provide some commentary. Ours was to turn that material into an interactive title.<p>We tried tirelessly to look up the passages he'd send to us in the original text. The only quotes that matched were the top 5% short and famous quotes. The rest was made up completely, presumably by AI.<p>His 1 million+ followers consider him a world-class subject matter expert. But he doesn't read any of the books he's teaching. Eye opening.</p>

<p>Would "pragmatic-universal" and "pragmatic-consensus" count as a fifth and sixth? I.e., "what's useful for the group?" and "what the group thinks is useful for them?"<p>An example of the first category might be a parent deciding it's better for their kids to believe in Santa Claus. An example of the second is to create a society on some maxim that's rendered true by group-consensus, "everyone should have an equal say."</p>

<p>I'm curious how education or entertainment companies fit into this framework, or how they think about PMF in general.<p>Was Duolingo targeting customers who accepted the "hard fact" that passive audio was the only way to learn a language? Was MasterClass a "future vision" because people didn't believe celebrities would spend their time teaching? Or is it that we NEED education and entertainment, so these two providers just differentiated from a crowded market.</p>

<p>> the pursuit of "states" can be a trap in of itself<p>Fully agree although a lot of devotees of Ramana Maharshi said they fell into silence just sitting in his presence. Improbable but it would be hilarious if scientists could make little "mouna wifi hubs" where practitioners got a silence handicap by sitting around it.<p>In the end though, I'm also skeptical that anything about self-inquiry can be replicated by an additive approach.</p>
