How do I select a topic?
Many times you may have an idea of where to start. Other times you may need to start at the very beginning. A system of organization that changed the world is the Dewey Decimal system. However, it was a creature of its time and has not reflected the true nature of the global human experience as we now see it. Based on this system and with the understanding of a more nuanced perspective, there are 9 categories that adventures will fall into. The reality is that sometimes they will fall into more than one category.
Growth adventure – You are growing a somewhat intangible skill that may not have any obvious results or the results may be something only used by you.
Examples- learning how to research, how to organize, adulting, cooking, disability navigation
Pondering adventure – You are growing a somewhat intangible skill that may not have any obvious results but enables you to take a new perspective on systems of belief.
Examples- self discovery, unproven scientific theories, mythology, religion, music theory
Social adventure – You are growing a somewhat intangible skill that may not have any obvious results but empowers you to navigate current overarching systems.
Examples- laws, government, social skills, emotional IQ
Historical adventure – You are investigating a recorded time that has passed to gain perspective on life recently, a while ago or since the dawn of time
Examples – prehistoric time, history of a nation, personal genealogy
