Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing

Summary

This quote suggests that modern states are investing significant resources and efforts in preparing for potential conflicts or wars, even though they do not have a clear understanding of the specific enemy they may face in the future. It highlights the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of warfare in the modern world, where traditional notions of identifying an adversary may no longer apply. The quote may imply a critique of the emphasis placed on military buildup and readiness, questioning the effectiveness and appropriateness of such preparations when the enemy remains undefined.

The truth is, almost nobody wants to experience real nature.

The truth is, almost nobody wants to experience real nature. What people want is to spend a week or two in a cabin in the woods, with screens on the windows. They want a simplified life for a while, without all their stuff. Or a nice river rafting trip for a few days, with somebody else doing the cooking. Nobody wants to go back to nature in any real way, and nobody does. It's all talk
