The Ethos of Travel

So one of the big things that comes to mind; why travel, what is the point of travel?

The world is a bigass place

So the first very simple thought:

The world is a fucking hugeass place

No matter how good your “imagination“ is… unless you have actually travel to different locations in the flesh and embodied reality, you don’t know nothing.

Pro and anti traveling philosophy

So kind of the loser mentality is “Why should you travel… you should just be grateful for where you are”. And I think this is ultimately one of the very backward lines of thinking, at least in the context of like maybe zen, buddhism, and strange american notions of gratitude?

What’s the purpose or point of life?

First, simply you don’t want to be bored, it is virtuous to have fun to explore to conquer to explore, to expand your world mind soul and the planet!

The new aristocracy

Certainly you cannot be everywhere, all at once. Your own physical human flesh bound body could only inhabit one spot at a time, and there are certain limits to luxury.

You can’t really tell nothing by looking at a map

I think this is also a very very big thing; often before you travel or during your travel or whatever, we will cross reference maps to get a sense of a place. But unless you get a POV point of view, first person view in the flesh, you can’t tell nothing.
