[FRIAM] Pondering the slang Adulting

[glen]

OK. So, there exist gradations of role-play. But is, say, undercover work by cops any more useful than, say, karaoke? Or, taken to the extreme, is it any more useful than watching a movie about Batman and feeling jealous of the toys? "Usefulness" relies on some teleology that isn't always obvious. I'd argue that fantasy is merely another way to reason analogously ... a form of simulation, which helps us weigh our options and make rational decisions. Adulting is no different than simulated annealing.
