Bloggin' about a blog: Game experience as foundation for knowledge

I wouldn't normally put some random blogger's opinion here, but this has a great point:

TomorrowToday

 This post-modern world is one where traditional views are challenged and authoritative statements are doubted.
Why should I believe you? Who says you are right?
It is in a world like this one where a social constructivist approach becomes critical. An approach where people develop their own meaning from experiences and from interacting with each other. Using experiences. Based on relationships.

 It's the postmodern way to oppose constructed messages for the public (as Roland Barthes would say), simply because we distrust them - without considering the plausibility of the information. Games reveal the true nature of themselves. Through the experience, tests, trails, experiments, players learn what the game is about and its true nature themselves. This practical way is a good example of the power of communication that games posses.
