Know Yourself - Thales

Know Yourself is a famous Greek motto, likely attributed to Thales, and later adopted and reinterpreted by numerous thinkers throughout history.

The philosopher’s invitation is to engage in a continuous process of self-exploration, identifying one's own limits in order to live within them with moderation, ultimately achieving happiness.

DEBRIEFING Know Yourself - Thales

In this interactive experience, the concept of "know yourself" becomes tangible: you can discover the range of speed that keeps the activity engaging, experimenting until you find the maximum speed that still allows you to win.

The experience offers a concrete path (even if limited to this activity) to knowing yourself, allowing you to reflect on the methods you use to gain this self-awareness.

For example, you might choose to avoid speeds that are too slow, or alternatively, push beyond your maximum limit to see how far you can go.

You can reflect on how long it takes to find a speed that satisfies you and evaluate whether repeating the process leads to different results.

Through this experience, you engage with a real and practical case of "knowing yourself", analyzing the various factors that influence your self-discovery rather than limiting it to an abstract concept.

By knowing yourself through experience, you truly begin to understand yourself.
