The Secret to Everything

I have been pestering friends and colleagues, lately, with the claim that I have discovered the secret to everything. While I readily admit that I am engaging in gross hyperbole in order to engage the attention of people whom I wish to bounce the idea off of, I really do think I have stumbled on to something important. So as not to be coy, I will cut to the punch line as say that "play" is the secret to everything. Over the next few posts I plan to develop an argument in support of that claim.
