In prehistoric human cultures we were actively engaged with our environment. Human interaction with the natural world has always been based in large part on human needs, yet guided by the human heart and spirit. We used all the tools at our disposal, including our minds, to implement the knowledge of our spirits and our hearts. We respected other life forms, and our tools. We were not perfect.
Perfection is a human abstraction.
We were nature. And we still are. With all of our tools. With all of our imperfections. Our abuse of technology is not a result of the technology itself, it comes from our minds, our rational, dualistic minds.
