“… a highly articulate yet almost purely improvised sequence of creatively self-and-other-advancing responses that would be as impossible to rationality’s analysis as they would be to its abilities to mimic them. This is part of what sports »is: the inability to mimic many simultaneous domains of unpredictable crisis and opportunity. But it is a phony representation, and what it represents is life itself. The problem is this: our representation is fake, and we do not form teams except for the sake of representations.

That which informs this dance is the spirit of intelligence in true relation, not logic, rationality, or economy. And though these should not be entirely evicted from the dance, nor should they ever rule over or declare their ‘judgments’ of it.”
