WHY TRAIN

From UoWiki

• for the practical circulation of self-bourne skills and information
• redistribution of wealth from rail companies to ones self
• exploration, the opportunity to develop and declare new routes in a business-oriented, dwindling wilderness-of-uncertainty
• physical bravery is something we are conditioned to admire. Particularly the deinstitutionalisation of physical bravery: outlawdom or action heroics. Here combined with the utility of transportation
• involves an agreeable degree of self-mythologisation / the mythologisation of colleagues
• recalculating an otherwise dulling experience (train travel) as extreme sport. declaring an environment as sport reclaims it for enjoyment, mental & physical engagement. Like other sports, PT aims for physical transcendence, sense of euphoria, boasting and cash advancement.
• reorientation of reimbursements as physical training is largely unfundable and tricky to budget accurately due to unpredictable outcomes, for example the cost ot a physical training exercise could be 0. although research funds can often be claimed as travel expenses via sleight of receipt . Can use the weight of the institutional travel budget against itself
• for border trials and experimentation: register and possibly overcome a border at will by the decision not-to-pay. The free flow of bodies can have broader migratory implications and applications
• physical training, like fence climbing or feral trade, is probing the surface of seeming sealed systems of unexpected places of passage or open transfer. (tunneling). success can be a transformational exercise - like for example teleporting, or skateboarding on verticles - a bodily transubstantiation.
• physical training takes an anti- anti social exclusion stance. Intensifies the experience of travel with narrative passage thru active social self-exclusion (to a hunted outlaw) and subsequent social reintegration.

where social climbing is about forming social networks outdoors, communality and conviviality during trespass; PT is more a solo activity, suits the lone action figure, the concentration involved aligns with conditions of other martial arts. although an overt purpose is to facilitate self-flow over social networks, social coordinates will often outweigh or negate the point of PT travel, for example it is usually better to spend an extra10gbp than be 4 hours late for dinner.
