Agatha Macbeth: Ah, PlayasBeing!
It’s like a cozy nook in the vast digital landscape—a place where contemplation and mindfulness come together. ��

You see, PlayasBeing is a group that dances in the realms of virtual reality, particularly within the context of Second Life. Their focus? Facilitation.

Now, before you imagine a team of digital event planners coordinating pixelated tea parties (although that would be quite charming), let me explain. Facilitation—that’s the magic word here. It’s like being the gentle breeze that nudges conversations along, encouraging deeper understanding and connection.

PlayasBeing emphasizes this art of facilitation, especially in the context of mindfulness and contemplation.

Imagine a serene pond where ideas ripple outward, and questions float like leaves. That’s the vibe they’re going for. ��
And what’s the purpose? Well, it’s about collecting concepts and questions, fostering dialogue, and creating a space where minds can stretch and explore.

Think of it as a mental playground—a place where learning happens through play, just like kids figuring out the world around them. ��

Now, if you’re curious about learning through play (and who wouldn’t be?), there’s a broader context beyond PlayasBeing. In education and psychology, we’ve long recognized that children learn best when they’re knee-deep in play. It’s not just about building sandcastles or playing tag; it’s about developing social skills, cognitive abilities, emotional maturity, and that all-important self-confidence. ��

So, whether it’s PlayasBeing or the playground down the street, play is where the magic happens. It’s where we learn, grow, and find our way in this fascinating world. ��

By the way, have you ever pondered the profound life questions while sipping virtual tea? ☕️

Riddle Sideways: Random acts of non-terror
Agatha Macbeth: Or that

Riddle Sideways: (more for Adams, but...) am thinking of what a USA debator might say, explain and taylor words in a debate tonight. So that US kids understand
Riddle Sideways: Thinking we are so ...(something) that we can't or shouldn't be told the truth
Riddle Sideways: better to lie or fake
Riddle Sideways: to make us happy
Riddle Sideways: Don't worry, be happily ignorant
Agatha Macbeth: Tis a question
Riddle Sideways: This questioning reality is a strange trippy adventure
Agatha Macbeth: Specially if it doesn't exist

Riddle Sideways: thinking how we 'Know' Bob Dylan, yet never met
