Knowledge Acquisition vs. Knowledge Production
How should I spend my idle time? “Walking had an added benefit: it helped me to think. Nietzsche wrote, ‘All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.’”
—Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
Since moving to Toronto, I’ve chosen biking as my preferred method of transportation. The benefits include a fair share of cardio, getting to places quickly, and the opportunity to listen to audiobooks or podcasts. However, the speed also means less time to make progress in my listening affairs. I’ve been considering whether walking is a better alternative, in other words, if the balance between travel time and time to read/listen should tilt towards the latter.
