Love you guys, Clayton and Becca. Thanks Matt for conducting this interview. I'd like to read their holy document if they release it. I had a few questions. I don't understand how people can 'learn' something from the game. If the game is only limited by the imagination base of its players, then isn't the maximum capacity of learning is limited to the creative ability of the players? I believe, we learn by experience; from outside forces. If we just imagine everything, then the outcome of the scenario necessarily does not reflect reality. I'm not learning, I'm not understanding the world better- I'm falling into a fantasy. What if someone doesn't enjoy board games? Can they participate in funism? at 41:15, he says that if someone does something not copacetic, they can be kicked from the game. So do the rules of funism change for each group of people who play it? Is it possible to participate in funism in a solitary way, or is a community required? Are other religions compatible with Funism? Like if everyone in the group finds practicing Islam fun, then can someone be an Islamic Funist? What is the motivation for this religion? 28:30 he says the foundation of the religion is making fun of religion. Does this mean the root of 'funism' is not 'having fun', rather 'making fun'? I'd love a followup or just some more information, maybe they can add me on discord. I respect what they are trying to do, I am just struggling to comprehend. Much love.
6:30 “ no one has gotten there, so anywhere is a good place to start” In Judaism Joy is of central importance, the pursuit and cultivation of it particularly one day a week observance (at least). There are many religious practitioners articulating similar views, they are simply mystics and outside mainstream awareness. What I like about this approach is it makes it more explicitly communal and participatory as a core (similar to Quaker meeting but… “fun”). I agree with the power and importance of engaging a collective imagination with a self selecting group of individuals. I wish you luck on reaching people to have fun.

Not a bad guy. But he has some ripening to do.
