Writing, absolutely. Challenge yourself over a variety of cognitive functionality. Challenge yourself in ways you wouldn't even define as intellectually or mentally sharp. Thinking non-critically, social intelligence, group intelligence, for example. Challenge yourself with concepts you find impossible or impenetrable to understand. I find when I do this, my desire to understand it increases by what seems like an infinite magnitude. When I have that much passion and motivation behind learning something, I am going to throw everything I've got at it. When I run out of every way I'm used to thinking, I have to force myself to find another way. This can be incredibly painful, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. It is the kind of learning process that can completely flip the way I perceive everything, because I have realized over and over again, that for every way I had constructed as what I called 'learning', that element which ties them together biases them together. Even now, I realize that I make the assumption that bias is capable of being evaluated in a binary fashion. I don't know what that means, but it's a new thought. Examine yourself carefully and slowly. It is a fine line to walk, between mental independence, and feeling mentally ill. The further out I go, the longer it seems to take me to come back. But I never know what going that far out is worth. Sometimes I feel lost entirely. Sometimes I feel sharp as knives. Sometimes I have to remind myself to stop thinking about how to control my thinking, so I can get back to studying the things I wanted to become proficient in, in the first place.
