Taking aimless walks is an essential aspect of the process of intellectual labor and people who have never had Truths revealed to them during a walk cannot understand this

But it's like stupid hot down here in Texas... ;)

Only true intellectuals can withstand the process of heat acclimatization

I suppose that's true. At least down in Austin we have places like Barton Springs and Deep Eddy to cool off.

Texans have to acclimate to this + 73% humidity at nearly 6pm. Come on down & try it. 🥵

I went to Philadelphia one year in February. Temps were in the 70s, & everyone was complaining about it being unseasonably warm. When I left for Houston, the temps plunged and it started snowing. 🤷🏼♀️ IDK why I usually bring the heat.

That's what the just barely audibly voices I hear on my walks are always saying!

That and I should shoot Reagan to impress Jodie Foster, but I think that's just a mix-up.

One of the things Nietzsche was correct about. (Mostly this and "there are no facts, only interpretations").

I've definitely had a few revealed to me like "This sucks!" and "Why am I doing this?" and "Fuck the sun" and "I wanna go home"

I have also had a lot of rubbish revealed on my walks as well as many temptations." Get thee behind me, Satan ".

My truths are often revealed during sleep, or when I’m listening to music and zoning out. Also sometimes while taking a shit Just gotta combine all 3 to unlock the deeper truths of the universe

Yeah, but ... when people start capitalizing "truth", I am always suspicious. A truth is always important to the person who speaks it. A Truth usually means they've figured out what other people need to do, which is always a mixed bag.

"don't pace near the equator," got it lol seriously though, I am embarking on a new and likely inadvisable health journey next week to prep for the rec softball season starting in September; I suspect my morning runs will morph into "think time" before too long

Walk time is think time. If you're thinking while running you're not running fast enough!
