"Weakness is Evil"

That is a strong and weird statement for what appears to be travel agency company. But let me explain. 

If you imagined some big corporate body behind this, well, I have to disappoint you. It is mostly just me, Oliver. A guy spoiled by comforts and safety of modern life. With all its benefits, I have increasingly found that these comforts and safety are making me and my generation weak, incompetent, impotent, irresponsible.


That leads to loss of meaning and connections. We increasingly don't need each other because life is made so easy for us. We are handed down undeserved comforts and safety on silver platter.
That means our society is now producing weak and spoiled generation, incapable of anything except complaining and envying. We expect everything, are grateful for nothing, and capable of nothing.

 

We got so weak through our comfort and artificial safety that our younger generation's biggest struggles are being offended, and solutions (e.g. safe spaces and woke ideologies) are just reinforcing the problem by making us more depressed and weak. If you are depressed or offended in our modern society you don't need more safety, but more danger!

But solution is not to abandon our modern society, which is indeed a blessing. Rather solution is to have occasional retreats away from those blessings in order to learn to better appreciate and navigate them.
It can be done through shared and challenging experiences, where we leave comforts and safety and are forced to get stronger and learn to cooperate with others. It is through shared experiences that relationships and skills are built. It is through challenges and struggle and expansion of our bodies and minds that strength and resiliency are developed. Then we can enjoy deserved comforts without its detriments. It is better to be strong than to be safe, it is also (paradoxically) safer.

So my hypothesis is that excessive artificial comfort and safety of our modern society are breeding weakness and loneliness and fragmentation in our society, especially among younger generations. And that eventually leads to evils. Hence this little company to mitigate some of these damages. Lets get strong and competent and have fun together. There is world beyond our screens.

Hope to meet you on our next adventure. Cheers, Oliver.

Note on How This Works

There will always be a plan, our itinerary, our schedule, on each adventure. But that doesn't mean we will make it and "check off all the boxes". We might not be able to get to some places, we might not catch food we want, we just might fail to get what we want and end up frustrated.


Unlike with travel agencies where everything is provided for you and guaranteed to you because you paid for domesticated experience and traded cash for responsibility. That gives you a nice illusion of being on "adventure", but it just spoils you more while promising the opposite.
 

Here it is all up to us. Up to our ability to cooperate, coordinate and negotiate between each other and our unpredictable circumstances that await us. That way we might not always get what we want, or all we want, but we certainly will get what we need and deserve.
So we don't pre-plan everything ahead, rather we figure it out on-the-go. Such freedom is risky, but rewarding in fostering our resourcefulness and resiliency.


Beauty of this in the unknown and unpredictability. If we succeed, we celebrate. If we fail, we learn. Either way, we arrive at our destination: Unweak.
