Very half-baked idea of overlapping types of human mass endeavors:
War
↕️
Sports
↕️
Religion
↕️
Scholarship/History Recording
↕️
Science
Each is the intersection of its neighbors. I wanted to add something like “hunting/ agriculture/ Mining” to the top, but it didn’t seem like the same kind of concept.
The deep history and ubiquity of sports in human cultures is strange to me. For some reason we don’t take sports seriously— that’s its utility: it’s war, but not as real.
