Running and cycling and the like are active. Sitting down is passive. I get that. But when I roleplay, I sit down rather than run around. So that's passive to.Or: adding up and subtracting and arguing and orating are active. And sleeping and being unconscious are passive. But when I read a book or watch a (good) movie I think much harder than when I add up a few one or two digit numbers. So reading or watching a movie is (intellectually) active. Maybe not as intellectually active all the time as RPGing. But more intellectually active some of the time than at least parts of RPGing.I really don't see the relevance of activity/passivity to the contrast between RPGs and movies. Participation and creativity seem like the more relevant dimensions of contrast to me.And I still don't see the relevance of delayed gratification either, for the reasons I stated upthread.</blockquote>
