I have contemplated going on survival courses or something to be honest, not because i expect to be running around in a loincloth in the woods anytime soon, but because it's skill acquisition and because i suppose you never know.

Just the knowledge of having the skills is quite satisfying i think

Does the older generation always think the subsequent generations are soft?

Great conversation starter, kudos.

The older I get, the more I realize everything can be taken away at a moment's notice, and it seems like I probably *should* to know how to literally survive in the woods. Not that I've done much towards that, but to your point, I do think we're becoming increasingly dependent on technology (especially with incoming AI products), and while there's a lot of potential to continuously "stand on the shoulders of giants" and innovate and expand out knowledge to infinity and beyond......... it does seem it like most of the population is going the way of the Wall-E people.
