Live in Thailand (or another society/culture very different from your native matrix) soberly, and you will never need to be reminded of this.

In fact, unless you find a way to stay comatose, perceiving, and acting, as if everything is a coded message pointing to an infinite regress of other possible meanings is ... inescapable. The inevitable resulting dislocation of identity destroys some, but others, like anaerobic bacteria living on cyanide (?), seem to thrive on it Smile | :)

But, there is an upside ... if you learn to bear with this: "The greater the social and cultural differences between people, the more magical the light that springs from their contact." Milan Kundera, "Les Testaments trahis" ("Testaments Betrayed").

"And, what," you say, "is the down-side ?" Well, best not said lest the calibration of a very delicate mirror hanging in inner space is lost, perhaps un-sayable, but ... look ... I clicked on this message, didn't I ?
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.

“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll
