Learning through adventure and exploration tends to reap rewards in terms of experience and unknown assistance but it surprises me how these ways of being sometimes mean I am framed by others in a certain way. I would say that anyone can benefit from being a little more adventurous and I think this starts with the following:
- Breaking the social relations and habits (and leisure past time) of consumption – e.g. shopping as a hobby and talking with others about it expecting reassurance for actions
- Reducing the amount of owned objects which do not serve any everyday purpose
- Getting into the outdoors and making proper journeys
- Cycling as a way to move about and see the world differently, breaking the connection with technological speed and reducing the cost of mobility
- Understanding some of the underlying functions of how capitalist society and (psychology behind it) works and therefore developing a critical approach to it
- Being aware of the gap between what society considers morally correct and what is ethically true
My adventure skills have much in common with design methods and processes:
-
Thinking methods and processes are means for thinking and applying intelligence
-
Adventurous living and the means to making life adventurous allow for living adventurously
There are multi-fold advantages:
-
Structuring communication that turns away from debating ideas towards reflecting on practice
-
Learning through practice rather than only from cultural artefacts
-
Gaining a sense perspective of one’s subjectivity and anthropocentric viewpoint on the world
