I like books, movies, good food, cold beer. In short, I enjoy the distractions of modern life, and Im thankful to be in a culture that readily provides them. But the Amazon taught me something about the true cost of such comfort: basically, its insulation. Direct experience is our best teacher, but it is exactly what we are most bent on obliterating, because it is so often painful. We grow comfortable at the price of knowing the world, and therefore knowing ourselves. So all I can say is this: for a while at least, the Amazon sucked me out of my cocoon, and my life has been te better for it. To anyone seriously considerig a flying leap into the void, I say GO. - Joe Kane, Running the Amazon
