งานวิจัย Neuroscience บอกว่า ความฉลาดในระดับที่สูงที่สุด คือ metacognition แปลคือ
“ความสามารถในการคิดเกี่ยวกับความคิดของตัวเอง”
เหมือนในหนังสือ “Think Again” by Adam Grant
และเหมือน “สติปัฏฐาน 4” by พระพุทธเจ้า
Traveling used to be this cool thing that only the ultra rich or ultra poor nomads did.
They sailed across the sea for months, and lived in exotic lands learning about the world. They were true experiences.
Now traveling is just being DINK and picking a city in Europe to WFH at for a week.
No, getting an “authentic” carbonara from Rome isn’t special and it certainly doesn’t make you Hemingway.
Traveling really isn’t that impressive. It’s not hard to do. You just go to an airport and get on a plane. It’s not a big accomplishment. Then you go somewhere and you have no responsibilities or obligations and just wander around and so of course it’s pleasurable enough. Traveling is fine. I’ve been to about 45 countries. But it’s not worth making big sacrifices for or delaying real life more than a year or two or anything like that.
