Yesterday’s coffee companion is a thinking magician.

We talked about:

  • the experience to date of 135 coffees
  • lunch clubs, and the importance of meeting new people without an agenda
  • the constraints of working life and organisations
  • whether work is a series of roles to be played or not
  • making oneself obsolete as a primary job goal
  • dyslexia
  • building modularity into games
  • competitive versus collaborative gameplay
  • how “gamification” misses the point and too often results in the view that only one person can be a winner
  • … or maybe (as per the prisoner’s dilemma) that everyone loses
  • improving cognition through games
  • being a perfectionist

#100Coffees is a continuing experiment in being intentionally unintentional. Why not take part by signing up for a coffee at https://calendly.com/matt-ballantine ?

The #100Coffees logo is the brainchild of Natalka Design.
