I love the Tao te Ching. It’s good stuff.
I’ve definitely seen people who don’t seem to benefit at all from roleplay, but I’ve also seen it be a means for people to open up and develop confidence and self-determination. I think it really depends on the person and their life.
As far as sleep, it’s a lot more than a way to skip time. You do some of your best learning in your sleep.
When I say roleplay, I don’t mean like a game with some roleplay-oriented objectives and scripted progress, or a bit of casual RP in a game between players who just run into one another.
I mean like months of deep immersion into characters and arcs that culminate in some really crazy and emotional stuff.
