“Living in a city is choosing simulation over reality”
Agree
- Cities are artificial environments disconnected from nature
- Urban life is all mediated experiences
- You're just a cog in someone else's machine
- Real life requires connection to earth
Disagree
- Human culture and community are equally real
- Nature worship is just another belief system
- Cities are where human potential actualizes
- This is romantic primitivism nonsense
