Dealt in and dealt out are radically different states.

When you're dealt in, you're in the game.

You're paying attention, you're actively modeling, you're ready to make a decision at a moment's notice.

You are alive with it, lit up, plugged in, tied to the mast, existentially joined.

When you are dealt out, you're just a participant.

You could be distracted or just going with the flow, and it wouldn't matter.

When you're dealt in, it's a discontinuously more rich learning environment by orders of magnitude.

You can deal yourself in, or you can be dealt in by your situation.
