Playing In Public is a mindset of 📝play in public space — on 📝My Stream, at 📝Symposium, and throughout life — in which the 📝Storyteller Consciousness is present for 📝co-creativity, building real 📝intimacy by inviting participants to show the aspects of themselves needed for the task at hand.
The concept evolved from 📝Thinking in Public, a practice inspired by 📝Stephen Wolfram's livestreamed CEO'ing. Where thinking in public frames the act as cognition with witnesses, playing in public reframes it as joint creativity — a shift that emerged from reading 📝The Ascent of Humanity. The distinction matters: thinking implies a solo process made visible, while playing implies a collaborative process made possible. It calls out innate 📝Spiritual Capital and treats the public context not as an audience but as a creative field. As 📝Seneca put it, "You should think in such a way that everybody could look into your soul and see what is transpiring there." 📝Leo Tolstoy echoed this in 📝A Calendar of Wisdom: "Live your life in such a way that you neither hide nor have a wish to display your life to people."
Example
📝Jeff Abrams and I played with the concept of 📝One Space; a 📝co-operatively owned co-work, co-live, and community gathering space. In this, we co-created 📝One Space // Financial Modeling.
