Camping and Decamping

From The Portal Wiki

Ideological "Camping" refers to temporarily adopting or exploring a particular perspective, ideology, or set of ideas. It's like setting up camp in a new mental space, trying it out, and seeing how it fits with one's beliefs or understanding.

Conversely, Ideological "Decamping" refers to leaving behind or moving away from that adopted perspective or set of ideas. It's like breaking camp and returning to one's default or original mental state or perspective after experimenting or engaging with a different viewpoint.

These terms are often used metaphorically to describe intellectual exploration, ideological shifts, or changes in belief systems. They highlight the process of temporarily immersing oneself in new ideas and then disengaging from them when necessary.
