Fair enough.

I do find, though, when I "do nothing and wait" and if I'm not aware of what's happening, I can easily get online and piddle about until the dopamine pathways are flush.

I tend to think it's problematic that my generation recalls backwoods lots being bulldozed for strip malls and my kids' generation thinks "backwoods" is by definition an hour's drive away. The next generation doesn't think much of backwoods at all unless it becomes a tiktok meme.

And the inner backwoods?

Does it matter?
Not in the deep time sense of things I guess, but I can't help but think it matters - probably because I remember what got bulldozed. Two generations out, who cares?

I'm an actor inasmuch as I'm the one clicking on links, or doing German, or meditating in the morning.

Maybe I just had lazy wording because I don't think we're saying things so fundamentally different. For me, create forest could also be called "allow forest."
