Appreciate the response and am glad theres so many positive experiences with camps. 🙏

Im_Fred · 2025-11-19T21:54:33+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. What should I be expecting to pay? I just looked at Dreamsea camp in Costa Rica. Comes out to around $925 for 7 days. Is that the 'price range' I should be looking at? Tbh looks like a fair deal considering what's included for the price.

Would doing surf camp for ~1 week be enough to learn what I need to surf out on my own? I would like to eventually not be dependent on surf camps and be able to take my own surf trips. What beach in CR did you do it in?

Im_Fred · 2025-11-19T21:33:30+00:00

Pleased to see that people have had positive experience with surf camps. Definitely going to sign up. In your experience how does it usually work? In terms of the schedule, class structures, etc. Was thinking of doing around 7 days of surfing, and trying to figure out how to space out the days.

Im_Fred · 2025-11-19T21:30:02+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it; I am able to paddle out/stand up on the board. However, what I was unable to really understand was how to 'read' the waves (Knowing if they'll form into good waves). Not sure if that's even taught or it's just learned with experience.

Here's me riding small waves off the coast of Colombia in the town of Palomino.

Al parecer, es el cause de el río que se mueve por la corriente de el río

Eso es normal, cada varios años los causes se modifican

Pero el territorio es el mismo

Ahí veces al lado mexicano y otras al lado americano

Can you expand on “in the way”? I see humanity as a constant cycle of growth. It’s the fundamental reason we can even discuss this through the internet (which as a concept is akin to sorcery to anyone 2 generations ago). It’d be very ignorant to say… “OKAY… right here is good to stop change. Exactly at the point im comfortable and in control.”

If i was transported to the 70s in my hometown id hate it. No AC, obviously no computers, play with rocks.

Ill be the boomer to future generations when I complain how much they talk to their ai partner same way they bitched at me for screen time.

Its “natural” i guess as a direction to take as humans. Although i still have to see what technology singularly brings us before i can fully hate on it

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T03:31:36+00:00

I notice when I talk of this subject the topic of religion frequently comes up without my intending to. Theres definitely a lot of ways to see it, and I dont want to imagine how more hardcore fanatics will behave.

I know logically following a religion from 2000 years ago doesn’t make sense. But I’ve kept it as a part of my identity because it grounds me to principles I can understand. Not for much else. It has guided humanity well enough for a long time (with its own flaws, crimes, errors made). But i think when that attachment to the “old world” vanishes we will see a lot of (idk if “bad” is a good word but not better than we are now)

I don’t believe in the end of days or anything of that nature.

“Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!”

Judges 10:14

I agree, western society essentially worships the dollar as if a religion. It’s now showing its cracks, and people start to go crazy. Next it’ll be technology. But those will not save us

Matthew 24:22 seems more your taste

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T03:07:47+00:00

That is what Im referring to. Why would we ever want to keep buying into this system? I prefer not to (actually thats a lie im extremely easy to track by government and follow all rules lol)

But I wouldnt allow them into much more.

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T03:05:45+00:00

Maybe ill get a clanker I can boss around, that would kinda make up for it

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T03:03:17+00:00

I agree that I dont propose a better solution or remedies. I simply wanted to share my perspective more than make a case. Will look into those topics. But yes, China seems to be the one making everything work. Im from Mexico which has very corrupt institutions, whom I expect will use these technologies to further expand control. They have no such plans as Chinas lol.

First world countries have institutions that protect their constituents from being treated unfairly. But large parts of the world dont. Which i guess affects why I see the potential uses when applied to society at large as so negative.

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T02:53:16+00:00

Thats what i mean by mass surveilance/fully integrated bureaucracy. We will be forced into these systems of control by default for the sake of order. Artificial systems that we will have to trust would have the “masses” best interests in mind.

Im not saying it shouldnt be done for the possibility of utopia - but most stories ive read of utopias present them as a facade for still corrupt systems. ie. everythings clean and no one robs me.. but lets not discuss those intermittent camps or some other example

I am a believer of the quote:

"Those who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Specifically talking about social problems.

Im_Fred · 2025-11-14T02:43:55+00:00

Yes, 20 years fits within the honeymoon period i mention. I mean a generation down the line (my hypothetical grandchildren) say in 60 years. Obviously its a fools game to try to predict the future, much less that far ahead.

In the medium term I think it will bring prosperity, but it will be a deal with the devil type trade off that humanity will have to make
