> The former is content designed by humans (generally working under the aegis of giant corporations) whose goal is to completely capture and dominate your attention to the exclusion of other things.

So all of modern TV is the same? Is watching cable news infantilizing? I feel like we're watering down to "infantilizing" to mean "things I don't feel good things towards".

> Hunting and fishing require you to be in nature which has been proven in study after study to be profoundly valuable psychologically and emotionally.

Again, this whole paragraph is unrelated to the question, right? Physical activity is related to those things a well, but people would argue that playing a game of hopscotch is childish. As well, my grandfather isn't what I would describe as the picture of mental health.

> You can fail to find a problem and be left with a car that won't run. That's very helpful for training resilience, problem-solving and equanimity.

I mean, you just described computer tinkering and problem solving as well.

> The smell of oil or seaweed. The flash of a bobber. The way you feel the pull of the fish in your arms or the recoil of the rifle in your shoulders.

Again, the topic is infantilizing. You're romanticizing.

> "Wow, that really felt like living!" Now how often do you feel that when you go fishing, or hike, or cook a meal for a friend?

Never? I sincerely hated fishing growing up and have found I'm not much of a hiker.
