A review by chickenrice
Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse
2.0
By playing with semantics, and writing very vaguely and cryptically a la Deepak Chopra ("Attention and intention are the mechanics of manifestation". WTF?), and basing his grand pseudo-prophetic pronouncements upon fallacies and dramatic logic leaps, Carse touts timeless wisdom but is instead actually just masquerading.
By writing in such an ambiguous, nebulous manner, one can read whatever he or she wants to read. Just like magical tarot-card horoscope smoke-and-mirrors woo-woo.
The fact that many glowing reviews of this book fail to succinctly summarise the underlying tenet of this book shows that many reviewers are just pretending to understand this book. They conflate undecipherable, ambiguous, loose phrasing for some mystically forbidden and timelessly true wisdom cloaked in mist and framed by a golden magical light.
As a truly wise person (Einstein) said - If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
