3. I am watching the Red Socks play baseball. I totally lack any
ability to control the outcome -- no feedback. The goal is clear and
I can become deeply interested in the progress of the game and the
out of the season. Clearly spectator sports exercise a deep hold on
the human psyche. Does PCT have anything to say about this situation?
More generally, can PCT explain persistent masochistic fascinations,
such as those (enjoyed? indulged in? endured?) by Red Socks fans?
It would be extremely impressive if it could!
