@Webster

it's increasingly becoming my opinion that spending quality time outdoors is important for your health. that's your ecosystem. your environment is an extension of your own body. as humanity gets increasingly interested and trapped in its own constructions you have to reorient yourself with what's real.

in reply to @Webster's post:

thats right!!!!!!!!!!!! expanding the limits of the physical environment you experience also expands the sensory limits of the mind!!!!!!!!!!!! if you spend all day in a room eventually your mind will shrink down to the size of your four walls!!!!!!!!!! sorry for yelling im just really excited about this whole concept

In a pretty literal sense too

People who don't go outside (or at least look out a window into the distance) regularly, such as for example submariners, have a higher risk of developing nearsightedness

The Chinese government recently passed some laws aimed at reducing kids' after-school study time and getting them to go outside for at least an hour each day, you know it's serious when China is telling kids to study less

Touch grass is a mean spirited comment but the truth of it is honestly you must have perspective outside your own sphere, you must learn to absorb some degree of discomfort and newness to understand your fellow human and the world around you
