The traditional aim of travelling was to completely detach oneself from ordinary life and experience it from a wholly new perspective. For example, pilgrimages took away the individual from a man's daily routine and allowed him to view things from another person's outlook.

I had been in Europe for two years and had developed a workable game to get me the Read More

Back when I became interested in “game” as a discipline distinct from simply going out and hitting on women, something called “routines' were very much in vogue.
