The problem with that philosophy is that no one lives at the top of the Himalayan. It was cool to get there, but let us go home where it is warm and comfy now and have a beer while watching the football games.If that was how we operated our worldwide migration -on this planet- would be difficult to explain. Awesome, crossed the Atlantic, now lets go home. Canoed across the pacific - hell fellas turn this log around it's time to go back to the hut and brag to our wives! I understand, lol, not dissing home and beers and warmth (or football) - but we do seem to have a bit of wanderlust. I'd hesitate to go so far as to call that wanderlust a philosophy, so I guess it just doesn't seem like a candidate for "a philosophy with a problem"?
