No. No, I would prefer that you be in a small room with a door closed and the enlightened person's in the other room doing something and you just get to eat ice cream. It is not about... In one way of looking at things, nature is the opposite of culture.

And so bringing culture in always, because we have an anxious culture, it's always going to spur that anxiety, which is the way it immediately turns into, oh, now I've got social pressure.

Yeah. We call it the fight flight system for a reason, although it's fight, flight, faint, freeze, flop. Now they have all these other F words. But yeah, as long as you go into fight mode to get rid of your fight or flight arousal, it's going to exacerbate your flight arousal.
