travel

travel, i thought i understood, that i remembered what it is like, but i realized when i got here that i did not. the important thing is not to care about where you are, about where you are going. just to move around and see. or stay in one place and see. the important thing is that you are in a different sort of surrounding. and new thoughts come. as they must.

because so much of what i learn, is that so much of what we think is defined by our immediate environment.
sure our past plays a role. that is surely part of our environment... our past is a collection of environments/situations/ contexts..... and we have some sort of memory capacity which comes because some of our neurons have this nice tendency to form stronger connections where connections happen more often. so our past environments are with us. and affect the way our brain experiences new environments.
however, the neural lattice still gets a bit fucked up when it find new input it has not dealt with before, and it must adapt,
and we want it to get fucked up.

travel is a good way to mind fuck yourself. because it's easy. you just go to other places. and it happens naturally.

so just go. and thats enough.
