"There is nothing natural about the concept of wilderness. It is entirely a creation of the culture that holds it dear, a product of the very history it seeks to deny… wilderness represents a flight from history.”

- W. Cronon, Trouble with Wilderness



"Man and technics are indissociable. The phenomena of homonization is the phenomena of technicisation of the living. Man is nothing other than technical life. But, for thousands and even millions of years, man did not sense this technical dimension which constitutes his life and existence, which makes him a singular and original living being in the kingdom of living beings."
- Bernard Stiegler from the film, The Ister

“There does exist a possibility that we can live more or less in harmony with our native wilderness… But it is the forever unfinished lifework of our species…”
- W. Berry, Home Economics
