Found myself explaining canceled plans & potential for #selfisolating to kids last night. They understood it almost immediately b/c we've played a lot of Pandemic as a family. amazon.com/Z-Man-Games-ZM…
They already had categories of community spread, outbreak, quarantine, & working together as a team against larger threat. They understood that *everybody* had to make decisions together to halt virus.
They understood more than a lot of adults I know who insist on processing the Q through lens of individualism & politics.
Made me wonder if there's an online game that could help people to think in certain categories? Might be an effective way to teach people how to make decisions in ways they're unaccustomed to making them.
Seriously, game developers, somebody get on this. Make some crazy simple, appealing game that teaches people how to work together for common good & gives them necessary categories.
I'm thinking something as silly as Angry Birds, Candy Crush, or Farmville. Also, when you make a gazillion dollars & save the human race, remember the little people.
