Despite he plays an horrible game, I like what he thinks and how he writes. I notice also some kind of naive hope that I’ve shared too in the past.

I imagine that this will change. He’s trying to push more on SOE exactly because he has the strong belief that things can be changed for the better. Something that I tried too, before leaning how pointless it is. And keeping wasting my time even after realizing the situation. Because I’m a stupid dreamer.

So yes, he feels like a dreamer, I imagine we share this attitude. I’ll just edit a couple of words from his last article to amplify the magic:

Jargon plagues us. We find meaningless words or phrases everywhere. Everyone has an idea, everyone has a complaint, and everyone has something about the game they want to talk about. Instead of finding ways to properly communicate what our problem is, we fall back to generalizations and buzzwords that may have meaning to us but lose that meaning the more they are used and misused. These words don’t help us to communicate. Instead of articulating a problem, they muddy the conversation and cloud the real problems.

What he writes here is somewhat specific but I think the value of these words is far greater in a generalized context.
