I've been thinking a lot about this.
Fun, my friends and droogies, is not merely fun. Fun sets us free. It is the great liberator, that which throws aside convention and tumbles restraint. Fun is can-do. The song of Fun is "We Could! We Might!" Fun is the best buddy of the brainstormer, the freedom to voice the wildest, craziest ideas without fear or favour, because it doesn't matter if the idea is crazy- we're just having Fun!
Fun is the Court Jester, the wise fool who can speak wild truths, the person who can criticize the monarch when everyone else won't, the little boy who sees the naked Emporer and speaks without fear. Why is ze permitted to do this? Because it's Fun!
Sure, some ideas are more do-able than others, and eventually you have to come back down to earth, do the donkey-work, conduct the feasibility study, whatever. But Fun enables us to come up with the new idea in the first place, to think outside the lines, to get to places we wouldn't normally go, to defy rigidity and embrace Creation like a little kid hugging a favourite stuffed toy.
Io, FUN! |

Well, in small doses, at least.
