While he clearly is influencing a lot of people (me included), what I
was wondering about was his ideas about comparing the amount of flow
experienced in different cultures and evaluating them from that
respect. That is one of his most daring ideas in the current
relativist climate, and I think it would be interesting to see the
results (both in themselves and on other academic fields).
