Dr. Gary Sanchez explains why Make Sense exists, using van life as a metaphor for finding alternative solutions to lifestyle challenges. The core idea: pursue your interests and build the life you actually want, not the one expected of you.
The greatest insights and benefits of human intelligence and consciousness come when people are free to pursue what they are interested in, what they are passionate about, in whatever way that happens to show up for them. Free to form their own lifestyles beyond whatever arbitrary norms the culture they live in tells them they should be doing. Like hey, why not live in a van? Why? Just because most people don't do it. Just because you don't have running water and a toilet with you at all times, you'll find a solution to those things. That's a silly example. Obviously I don't live in a van anymore. I wouldn't want to do that anymore, at least not long term. But it's an example of how an independently minded person can find alternative solutions to lifestyle problems.
