> But slowing growth and limiting development isn’t living in harmony with nature—it is surrendering in a battle with nature, capitulating to her unreasonable demands. How do you want it? Is nature inanimate as you say later? And why are living within the means of what surrounds us until we better figure out what to do capitulating to unreasonable demands? I am thoroughly unimpressed by this text. Harmony with nature is a myth in the sense that it is subjective and often has little to do with actual balance. At the same time, the article's view of nature as something detached from humans seems way more harmful than a really trying to look far a balance.
