  <description>OPENING GAME - Rock-Paper-Scissors/Roshambo 
CELEBRATION - Had first newsletter this week!
INTRO TO MAIN TOPIC - what is an action selection game? 
GrenadierBG on Discord recommends Adam in Wales video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob5KswRrah4&amp;amp;t=847s)
MAIN TOPIC - Spiritual Lessons from Action Selection Games
Taking initiative can be important.
 Taking actions can deny resources to others.
 Taking actions can also provide opportunities for others.
 You cannot control what others do. You can only control yourself.
You must do what is urgent and important in action selection, which is a great human time management lesson.
