The Hamlet Project

Let’s re-frame. Let’s try to approach life like the Player King.
We’ll think of life as full of operant powers.
We’ll recognize their functions.
Instead of worrying over making a life, of making a living, of doing something of note – we’ll worry about giving our operant powers their due.
What can we do?
What functions do we wish to perform?
Even the most mundane are miraculous when you think of them. We not only feed ourselves, we find and prepare food. We walk. We talk. We dance. We have sex. We relate to one another in abundant ways.
There are those who expand their functions beyond the quotidian – those who become athletes and circus performers – those who become opera singers and virtuoso musicians. Functions at their peak – those who have abundant operant powers.
