Many people may consider humans to be part of Nature, but still they see technology as something separate from it. And yet it isn't: just like a crow uses a pebble or a stick to pluck a reward from some puzzle presented to it by humans, the ideas for advanced tools we humans come up with are prompted by challenges we face in the world.
Of course, for some reason it seems we still see the world or society as being more important than nature itself, but the times are changing: more and more we see information that helps people to become aware of where we fail to see ourselves as different or separate from the rest of our reality. Planetary awareness will help us see where we can be the immune system of the world rather than the virus attacking it by depleting its resources.
