Metropolitan Metabolism?

I like to think of it this way: how we the people process thought.

The point? To ask the questions that spin our minds around in circles and keep them spinning. Acknowledging that the metabolism of the human mind is just as relevant and vital to human life as that of the digestive system processing food.

The point is to think: to question, to challenge, to understand. To hold the world up to the light of reason and watch it cringe like an ant under a magnifying glass. Never to take anything for granted, never to presuppose. Rather, test all things. Not just to know what we know, but how we know it. Casting a critical eye on the world to see it as it really is. Honesty at its finest and its worst.

Never being satisfied.

Never going hungry.

This. Is metropolitan metabolism.
