What I question is whether or not we really need to further develop a lot of natural spaces with sprawl and waste. I’m not sure why protecting untouched lands is “hating your own humanity” either. In fact I think it’s the opposite - it’s getting in touch with the core essence of being human, which is part of being in a natural environment, which we have less of because we have been tricked to think we more strip malls that are ugly and dumb compared to even the most barren in disturbed landscape. Hating humanity is destroying our history and our environment so we can pave roads and build another fast food chain. In a place like Iceland you’ll find undisturbed volcanic rock and moss. It’s more beautiful than all but the greatest brick house neighborhoods , monasteries built on cliff sides, castles, and Brooklyn Bridges. There are very few government run agencies or programs that get voluntary donations. NASA is one, our national parks are the other. It’s obvious.
