It's no coincidence that "touch grass" became the most common description of the cure for the kind of insanity that comes from looking at a screen too long

It's not exactly a solution. You can't hike your way out of an overdue rent payment, a Slack message that starts with @, or the knowledge that right now, thousands of guys with a podcast microphone are explaining the economy to other thousands of guys with a podcast microphone. But it helps.

Ten years ago, I would've told you that walking in nature for fun was an insane thing to do. Are you voluntarily going uphill? In shoes that cost more than your regular shoes? So you can look at a tree that has never once liked one of your posts? Suspicious behavior.

Now, somehow, it's the only thing that makes sense.
