Default More than trail and error and productivity

I'd definitely agree. It inspired me go beyond my trail and error method of learning. Steve tends to put a lot of emphasis on experience, but I think he'd agree that, in some situations at least, you have to learn things that aren't experienced in a general situations. He even wrote on that in the post where he talked about Black Jack if I recall correctly.

It's refreshing to see Steve writing on a topic that isn't overtly productive. Things like chess are what make life life and not just a production, kinda like Frisbee golf.
