Quote from: Ezra. . . I've been reading a book called The Characteristics of Games . . . They have this discussion of "climbing the heuristic tree" meaning discovering increasingly subtle heuristics to guide your play of a game. They break them into "state heuristics" AKA how you evaluate how "well" you're doing in a game. Assigning points to pieces in chess is one such heuristic. Then there are strategic heuristics which are about how to play well.
. . . state heuristics are kind of required before you can come up with strategic heuristics
QuoteThe point isn't to remove the ring, or to make photos disappear after they've been seen. The point is to understand how we use communication products . . .
. . . The key is forgetting what we've learned about interfaces, and using our instincts (instead of hot trends like "ephemerality") as guides.
