A real idea for a vita activa philosophy course is taking shape in my head
- domestic cozy
- strategic mediocrity
- non-learning

- flow like water
- graphminding (aka anti-Waldenponding)
- going boneless
- structured escapism

No psychedelics required either, no painful ayahuasca exorcism or bromystical striving
No need to turn on or tune in. Skip straight to drop out.

Gonna have to refactor classic Confucian wuwei a bit though, since it’s really deleuzean striated-action trad posture. Aka, going with conventional flow as effortless inexertion. Doesn’t work if convention itself is a ratchet of frantic arms racing.
