Classical thinkers from Aristotle to Aquinas understood this clearly. We become what we attend to. Environments shape habits, and habits shape character. The places we live, work, and socialize are constantly making us into certain kinds of people, whether we notice or not.

In an age when outputs multiply endlessly and meaning feels scarce, where a million artificial distractions compete for our attention all at once, the hunger for real environments - for truth we can touch and feel - will only grow.

People will not starve for things to do. They will starve for places to be, to belong, to become.
