I keep meaning to ask you this, but do you watch "24"? I've just recently gotten into it (thanks to Jon and his dvd collection) and it's amazing. I REALLY think you'd like it.
To regard society as a species of culture is not to overthrow or even alter society, but only to eliminate its perceived necessity. Infinite players have rules; they just do not forget that rules are an expression of agreement and not a requirement for agreement.
Culture is not therefore mere disorder. Infinite players never understand their culture as the composite of all they they choose individually to do, but as the congruence of all that they choose to do with each other. Because there is no congruence without the decision to have one, all cultural congruence is under constant revision. No sooner did the Renaissance begin than it began to change. Indeed, the Renaissance was not something apart from its change; it was itself a certain persistent and congruent evolution.
For this reason, it can be said that where a society is defined by its boundaries, a culture is defined by its horizonA boundary is a phenomenon of opposition. It is the meeting place of hostile forces

Also, I don't know his definitions, so most of this doesn't make much sense. Even if I did, I don't think I find his view particularly persuasive or meaningful on this point.
Although anyone who wishes can be an infinite player, and although anyone can be strong, we are not to suppose that power cannot work irremediable damage on infinite play. Infinite play cannot prevent or eliminate evil. Though infinite players are strong, they are not powerful and do not attempt to become powerful.
Evil is the termination of infinite play. It is infinite play coming to an end in unheard silence.Unheard silence does not necessarily mean the death of the player. Unheard silence is not the loss of the player's voice, but the loss of listeners for that voice. It is an evil when the drama of a life does not continue in others for reason of their deafness or ignorance

I was just pissed to see that having pride in my country and willingness to serve it would be calculated as "blind patriotism."
But other people have actually used the term in reference to me and the test brought it to mind.
