Ah right that’s what the second half of my statement was getting at( intensity of reaction). Eg in Bali you could serendipitously meet tonnes of “digital nomads” in the trivial sense but the intensity of reaction is also trivial, little harmless burps and farts

Intensity of reaction on the other hand I feel is extremely dependent on the person, and could be triggered by anything from meeting a family of otters in the park to suddenly realizing that a water fountain’s parabola can be articulated as the intersection of a cone and a plane?
