“Although the drama of games of strategy is strongly linked with the psychological aspects of the conflict, game theory is not concerned with these aspects. Game theory, so to speak, plays the board. It is concerned only with the logical aspects of strategy.” PlayGamesSpeakTheoryDramaConflictConcernedAspectStrategyPsychologicalBoardsLogicalLinked Author:Anatol Rapoport
“The absurdist is concerned with the search for meaning in the Universe. He believes this search to be meaningless--hence the disintegration of plot, character, and language in absurdist drama. Order is a falsehood that we, God, those who came before us, have imposed on a random universe. However, the absurdist is confronted with a curious paradox: though he believes the Universe to be meaningless, he cannot abandon the search for meaning--or he will die.” BelieveCharacterOrderDiesUniverseLanguageDramaConcernedCuriousPlotAbandonParadoxMeaninglessFalsehoodSearch For MeaningDisintegrationThose Who Came Before Us Author:Walter Wykes
“You see, for me a painting is a dramatic action in the course of which the reality finds itself split apart. For me, that dramatic action takes precedence over all other considerations. The pure plastic act is only secondary as far as I'm concerned. What counts is the drama of that plastic art, the moment at which the universe comes out of itself and meets its own destruction.” ArtMomentsRealityActionUniverseCoursesPaintingDramaPureConcernedDestructionDramaticConsiderationPlasticSplitsPrecedence Author:Francoise Gilot
“It's CNN who really should hold Trump accountable. And because they are trading the short-term fix of increased ratings by focusing on Trump drama - and I'm not saying they shouldn't cover the Russian investigations, of course they should - but the blanket coverage, it's not about news values. It is about ratings. And it comes at a tremendous cost because Trump supporters are fully defended against this. As far as they're concerned, this is a vast conspiracy, it's fake news, it doesn't impact their daily lives, it makes them see Trump as a victim, which he wants to be seen as.” ValuesDramaConcernedVictimFakeDaily LifeConspiracySupporterTradingBlanket Author:Naomi Klein
“Conflict is the basis of drama. I guess that goes back as long as time has existed as far as mankind is concerned, dating back to the Greek tragedies or the Old Testament. And violence is a form of conflict, so whether that's catharsis or whether that has some socially damaging effect on audiences - I suppose that would just depend.” LongAudienceViolenceMankindDramaConflictConcernedDatingTragedyGreekOld TestamentGreek Tragedy Author:Clint Eastwood
