The River is the most spiritually powerful natural formation on Earth. There is a reason that all original civilizations originally formed around Rivers. You need to be River-maxxing

Heidegger's object-oriented ontology would reject this Kantian form of River-maxxing, arguing that The River is not ontologically exhausted by its relation to human-civilization. When admiring the River for its power, the Kantian River-maxxer is withdrawn from the essence of the River itself. Harman's interventions (see "Prince of Networks," his seminal work on Latour) clarify a speculative metaphysics that might be a generative point of departure for us. The River is emergent and ever changing, real beyond its conditions of accessibility. The essence of The River simultaneously the power we can perceive and an unknowable interiority with the network of relations implied. and so the true River-maxxer must not attempt to river-maxx at all

I believe Heidegger already thought the true essence of The River through his writings on wood paths - the dry rivers and streams of forests - and their relation to man & thinking
