“The first move… in any situation… awakening, human relationships, business situations, and especially thought… radically delimits the nature of all future moves. It is as if the spirit of the first move engenders the specific kinds of possible futures. It is easy to understand this when experiencing it directly. And it is easy to understand it as an idea. But it’s accessibility to the cognitive mind conceals its depth. This is infinitely deep. And there are some situations where the refusal to select a first move maintains degrees of liberty that are otherwise almost invariably sacrificed.”
