Giroscope 40 Lunch Plus: How to become a fox

“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” Archilochus

So much of our world feels fixed and unchangeable, especially 'the economy'. But what if play could help us imagine and build alternatives?

In this Lunch Plus talk, Anna Coromina and Aviv Kruglanski of 3 Stages of Succession explore how free play can become a practical tool for social transformation, social entrepreneurship, and community economies.

Drawing on Scott Eberle’s work on play, Philip Tetlock’s fox-and-hedgehog metaphor, and Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, they are developing a deck of playful tools and posters to support innovative but precarious projects, which will be shared during the session.

This talk is part of Giroscope’s 2026 Lunch Plus series celebrating Radical Ideas. Real Connections.
