“We say well now look at all the things we civilized people have achieved. Ah yeah, but you’re about to blow up the planet, which seems to be the price of it. But here again let me underline the fact that I’m not trying to talk down technical skill. I’m only trying—and let me repeat the point—that you cannot employ non-hostile non-destructive technical skill unless you realize basically that you yourself are this whole domain of nature.”

— Alan Watts, Philosophy of Nature
