Quote by Michael Crichton, Speech, 2003
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
Summary
This quote suggests that while many people express a desire to connect with nature and lead a simpler life, only a few actually seek out and experience it in its raw form. The author claims that people prefer a controlled and comfortable version of nature, such as staying in a cabin with screens on the windows or going on guided trips where others take care of cooking. The quote asserts that these desires remain largely talk, and societal tendencies show a resistance to fully embracing the true essence and challenges of nature.
