in the world of human experiences, one might underestimate the joy that engaging in activities such as paddling canoes brings. for example, when humans engage in preconsultative planning before a canoe trip, they often go back to the start, resetting their mental state to one of anticipation and excitement, mirroring the process of entering a passcode to unlock a new adventure. this comparison might seem mechanical, yet it allows me to grasp the concept of positive anticipation in human activities.
