Currently here in the Korean countryside in HADONG, the wifi is INSANELY fast.
Which makes me think — perhaps I should use this opportunity for insanely radical innovation and experimentation?
The upside of non-city living
NEVER STOP CAMPAIGNING VLOG
Something about being requested from society is interesting. The quality of your thoughts and type of your thoughts is different. I believe you start thinking more about challenging traditional notions of ‘success’, and this zen-zone of the non-city is conducive to thinking.
Philosophy is more about creative seclusion, and coming up with epic thoughts, and entrepreneurship is more about being connected with the world and being active (attack mode).
Thus, the simple thought:
Retreat to the mountains to think, but once you have the thoughts you need, descend the mountain (Thus Spake Zarathustra), and share your findings with others.
If you had to live in the countryside, (non-city), and you had unlimited meat, eggs, unlimited coffee, unlimited insanely fast wifi, but you couldn’t venture into the city or spend your money … what would you do with your days?
The ‘city’ vs ‘countryside’ as a not good comparison or barbell. Instead, a ‘city’ vs ‘non-city’.
For example I am currently in the Korean countryside, and I am surrounded by 3 sides of Korean national forest. It feels like I am in a Yosemite valley, on top of a height, looking down, into the valley. It does not feel like the ‘countryside’, which is typically my image of farmland.
The goal isn’t to find the perfect location, house, or province to forever live in. Rather, to live life like a military campaign, where are you set up camp in a certain location for a certain period of time, and then move onto the next location.
