Shotgun a few vintage thermometers, you'll forgot quite a lot.

I actually considered this. Language determines the ways in which you can think, it's also essential for cultural identity, the great anglo menace is globalist cancer that lacks essential common words for important things. Most notably with words like love.

Flow with whatever may happen, and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting what you are doing. This is the ultimate.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.

The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?

Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!

Move to China. Buy no internet connection. Negotiate a shitty coding job in English then forgo using the language. Buy food by pointing, get cash from Chinese cash machines, do your taxes through the same accountant every year, listen to a lot of music to avoid incidental thought

It seems it would be inevitable to pick up language without even trying? From hearing and seeing it. Basically like a tall baby. Clever job idea too

4chan's been my only source of human interaction for about 10 years now, I read and consume entertainment almost exclusively in english too. The rare times when I have to communicate with people in my native language I begin stuttering with realisation that I forgot some of the words that take no effort to recall in english. When I'm alone just thinking to myself it usually happens in english too.
