Evolution is a story that includes man in a vast continuum, and to separate out the non-man parts and assume that's nature is a big fallacy of SOM based environmentalism.
The best guy for deep studies of nature tho, is Masanobu Fukuoka. Lemme just grab his book in front of me right now... and open it up... Here. This looks good, under the heading How Should Nature Be Perceived. Sounds promising. Seeing Nature as Wholistic "The central truth of natural farming is that nothing need be done to grow crops. I have learned this because non-discriminating knowledge has enabled me to confirm that nature is complete and crops more than capable of growing by themselves. This is not the theoretical hypothesis of a scholar in his study or the wishful thinking of an idler with an aversion to work; it is based on a total, intuitive understanding of the truth about self and nature wrested from the depths of doubt and skepticism in a deeply earnest struggle over the meaning of life. This the source of my insistence that nature not be analyzed." sigh... Hi John, Thanks for your thoughts. I could respond to a few of them, but I chose the one above. If you change the word "crops" with Quality, then I like it. Quality grows itself. We can watch and be amazed, no need to worry about it. No matter what we do, its all under control. Think I'll go for a hike tomorrow.
