Get out of your routine and introduce some dissonance.

Outside is an endless miasma of geometric and color gradient state change overload for the brain, garbage collects the social objects we’re forced to hallucinate.

Sit in one spot too long and it all goes fractal.

It's interesting that you say that. Recently I went on a trip where I had my phone and I was largely in urban environments, but I spent lots of time (most of each day) just walking around cities and looking around. I felt so calm and balanced, even though there was tons of noise and traffic and things I might assume would induce stress. Garbage collection of social objects is an interesting way to put that phenomenon.

It’s all just recursive computation and memoization of the important bits.
