Has social evolution been detrimental to humans? Can we move away from nature/mysticism and towards progress?
We have changed since our early days: with the exception of third world nations, we have protected ourselves from nature and deemed ourselves exempt from natural selection through medical science. But we have, as a society, abandoned close relationships with elemental mysticism, that is, separated ourselves from nature, in the process.
The separation is definitely the problem. We live in our houses, we go to work in places with no natural light and no fresh air. We wear shoes that prevent our feet from ever touching the earth. Is it any wonder that we are destroying our planet -logging old growth forests, mining uranium from national parks to sell to other countries to make weapons. The list goes on. It has come to this because we can no longer ‘feel’ our environment, let alone care for it.
