I agree. The reason I'm here in the first place is because I embrace change rather than fearing it. I'm curious and I don't care what society says. Change is almost always positive, and when it isn't, we take two steps forward and one step back, which still equals one step ahead on the map, because negative change brings positive lessons.
You're right, tripping is mentally and physically exhausting, and tripping too much isn't really a good thing. But I think the brain is a muscle, a very very powerful one when mastered, and it might actually be possible for "swimming in the ocean" to be sustainable for day-to-day life, but it would take a lot of work to get there, I think.
There's also the question of whether there's any point in doing that. But why let that question stop us from trying anyway? If we get there, we can always swim back to the shore. The only real point of anything in life is to experience the journey and learn from it. That's what I think anyway. I want to see just how far the mind/brain can be pushed, and I don't think it's possible to go "too far", as long as I'm careful and respect this ocean that fascinates me so much.
True enough.
It's a fun and strange way to live. I think you will enjoy it.
