"I don't want to think while I play, so no one should be allowed to."

[Zaene]

I have a wonderful book for folks if you're looking for a deeper dive into why folks are polarized into these two camps. It's called The Growth Mindset. The basic premise is often people believe either 1. Your talents are what they are and they can't be changed (lots of implications here) or 2. You can always improve and should.

I think this fits into this discussion in the following way; someone earlier in the thread brought up basketball as metaphor. You see a dunk on TV, go to a gym, try a dunk, get brutalized in a pick up game. Go home thinking "basketball is trash, sports are trash, why are there so many rules..." instead of seeing an opportunity to get good at something and become able to dunk *Not everyone can but as a goal what's wrong with it?*

Similarly, especially with social media, streamers, etc, raiding and showing high levels of play people have the same mentality; if I have to -work- to achieve some goal obviously it's tooo hard! I should be able to walk up sneeze in the general vicinity of my keyboard and clear raids.

It's all contained in the book, in way more detail with amazing nuance.

Like, with a non-growth mindset, if you ever have to -try- it obviously means you're -bad- because the truly talented never had to -try- (a fallacious way of thinking)
