Pretend Arguments: Car Therapy & Self-Talk

I do my best debating with… the empty passenger seat. Call it car therapy: caffeine, sunrise, and 60 mph turn pretend arguments into real clarity. You can just throw it out of your mouth and get real-time feedback from yourself to edit out the dumb. Not every problem gets solved before the next exit, but a new perspective shows up easily. The motion of the car moving you through time and space simultaneously gives an impression of flying through a thick invisible cloud full of ideas, and you just scoop them up as you go. You just kinda go into auto-pilot and let your mind wander and soon enough you have everything figured out. Sometimes you have to yell into the abyss, but then you feel better. That crazy shit you shouldn't say in public is within the confines of your car and you can tell yourself, "Glad no one heard that." 🤣 So if you pass me on the freeway mid-rant, I’m fine. I’m just workshopping the nicer version of the truth before I say it out loud to, you know, actual humans. Opening song “Chiptune Fighter" written by SCOREWIZARDS. All production by Cody Maxwell.
