player games profound
As in the game of billiards, the balls are constantly producing effects from mere chance, which the most skillful player could neither execute nor foresee, but which, when they do happen, serve mainly to teach him how much he has still to learn; so it is in the most profound and complicated game of politics and diplomacy.

The idea of Curious Yellow, of surrender to a higher cause, seems to appeal to a certain small subset of humanity.
