Look, if you are getting into permaculture, don't burn books, at least
compost/bury them. It's easy and aside from giving worms intellectual
indigestion, it is a far better alternative than burning.
You need to see what, if anything, rises from the ashes. It's a metaphor.
Speaking of which: I want to disown the idea of a spectrum from nature
to culture. Instead I think there are simply dimensions. Nature is one
space. Alphabet another. Cyberspace a third. And so on. Each a chance to
rearrange the neurological architecture and perceive reality in
different ways.
Striving for any or either of them to be the dominant is silly.
There are some somewhat related nice stories about that in Paul
Feyerabend's Philosophy of Nature, as there is in Gosden's
archaeological work on magic.
Magic/myth, religion/philosophy, science are three different modes of
engaging with the world.
