The idea
I believe AI agents will hand us back the hours we lose to screen chores like booking, email, and paperwork, and we will spend that time touching grass instead. So this basket owns the places people go when they put the phone down: outdoor and sports gear, travel and hotels, resorts and places to play, and a smaller slice of live events. It is spread across many names rather than betting on one, with a modest cash reserve since this kind of shift plays out over years, not months.
