(Open-Ended) What is fun?

A bit of a lighter topic today: What is fun?

This seems like a simple question that would be tempting to hand-wave away as a "Well you know..." but the more I think about it the less cut and dry it seems.

Some prompts to get you thinking

  • What are the merits and purposes of fun?

  • What makes something fun? Though different people find different things fun, is there a common thread that makes those things fun?

  • Is it easier for some kinds of people to have fun than others? What kinds of situations lend themselves to fun experiences, which make them difficult?

  • Are there ways for people who have forgotten how to have fun to "get back in touch with fun?"

  • Do you think you have enough fun? Too much?

  • How much fun is the right, or a good amount?
