Welcome
This blog is less than an experiment, and it isn't about anything.
It's about about-ness—the thing of the thing, not the thing itself.
Hence "meta"—what one thinks about what one thinks about.
And what one thinks about what one thinks about what one thinks about.
And so on.

The meta of Meta Sports: Nothing to do with who scores? Why didn't I write that winning is everything, that scores are all that matter? Because winning only matters in the context of the sport. Sports are meta of personal best, competition, exercise, etc. Scores—winning and losing—are equally useful in the way they inform other areas of our lives. For me, and others, I'm more interested in life than sports. Games of all kinds are similarly meta phenomena. Play, too—some thrive on it. For others of us, creative expression—art—is closer to life than play or games or sport, and consequently more useful.
