Neophilia
if one is an a mood to medicalize
I’ve been like this my whole life. Neophilia is the clinical term, if one is an a mood to medicalize. I like it when things get weird. When the ground shifts. When the old maps stop working and you have to navigate by feel and first principles. Bat territory. Some people find that terrifying. I find it — and I need you to know this about me before we go any further — deeply exciting.
