well, judging by the fact that in the grand scheme of things nobody is actually important and nothing anybody does is important, i dont think it would matter if most of us werent alive right now.

i dunno. it would appear that way sometimes. other times i think we're just exactly where we need to be experiencing exactly what we need to experience, that it's all part of our micro/macro collective evolution as a species. not that that should be an excuse to live mindlessly or apathetically. like, i don't think that should be an excuse for us to continue to deplete the earth of its resources, i hope we'll eventually find a way to make technology and industry more harmonious with the ecology of the earth & space.

Should there be a army of sweat shop workers over in asian countries so you can enjoy that brand name shirt and flashy sneakers at a reasonable price?
Each lifestyle is equal in its merits.
EDT: that was to pwnasaurus

man, i think i've been a part of like three or four "conversations" just today revolving around the same ideas in totally separate threads and forums. humans, nature and how they are one or how they are separated must be on the hive mind (or maybe I AM the hive mind and i'm just projecting all of these avatars of myself onto the web to give myself something to talk about ).

We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

That Shroomery I-am-the-hive-mind idea seems to come to a lot of people around here, too..
It actually occurred to me once on an 8th of mushrooms... but I actually thought it was for real.

This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural, the supernatural, or what is man-made
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition"
I believe every living thing on this planet has some kind of balance to its natural environment and planet. Humans do not exhibit this balance what so ever.
I hear what youre sayin OP

Who are you to decide what the "innate disposition" is?

Humans are inseparable from nature.
We can never "break free."
Even if we haul ass in our polished space mobiles, it's still nature exploring nature.
