Welcome to LessWrong!

Story vs Life (forming a trinity along with Game for people's intentions)

Is it a coincidence if this reminds me of Gamist, Narrativist and Simulationist roleplaying?

Thanks.

I wasn't consciously inspired by it, but was aware of the terms. I'd still discount it as a coincidence though. (Or being a natural division to make.)

The terms kind of grew on me from using them separately in expressions. ("That's just story" when discounting some evidence, ""Life is" when being stoical (Or "Life is beautiful" when being happy.) and "What's his game?" and similar when reasoning about entities (people, organizations, myself). Then they just fitted as words to partition the world around.
