How to reason something out

I want to think about this here (that much I have figured out already):

What is the difference between movement learning and regular movement?

And so I was thinking: first I need to find out how to think about things, in this day and age.

You know, when I was a kid, I always had to walk from school back to our house. I was used to walk alone, which took anywhere from half an hour to several hours, and led me over poorly paved streets, passing by meadows, eerie houses and farmland, and through a good stretch of then beautiful forest, with a creek trickling down the mountain. In the first year of my walks there was even a few fish in that creek (I kept looking for them, but sadly, they seem to have disappeared forever.) At that time there was no mobile phones or iPod or such things. I had a bulky, plastic-y SONY Walkman, but this thing was notoriously out of battery, the headphones didn’t fit that great, and I had nothing to listen to anyways.

So I was walking six days a week, alone, submerged in nature, and my own thinking. That was a pretty good setup.
