IMHO, this is merely more encouragement of superficial artificial reality, and lack of focus and discipline necessary for dealing with real life.

What is real life anymore, Willie? I used to lament the fact that a lot of kids never got any exposure to the woods and nature, but for a lot of them, none of that is anywhere near their homes. And I'm in a 18-story building full of people working on computers all day long. And flexible thinking is a desperately needed commodity in the business world.

You might consider all this superficial artificial reality, but for a growing number of people, it's where we make our living.

And flexible thinking is a desperately needed commodity in the business world.

I've come to regard "flexibility" as a liberal buzzword that enables superficiality and lack of depth of understanding.
It goes hand-in-hand with "diversity".
Simply hype with a supposedly "positive" connotation that actually lowers standards.

May I say you aren't showing much flexible thinking
in your attitude about the "outdoors" and "nature".
Mabe you would benefit from taking a hike in the woods!
