overview of my thesis

Things have been getting really complicated, right? We live in an incredible time, full of things our grandparents would have never dreamed of. But with all the good stuff, a lot of bad came along, too. We're always rushing around, always tired. We've lost touch with what it really means to be human, to be a part of the Earth.

Being human isn't about keeping up with the latest tech or buying fancy things. It's about connecting with the world around us, the world we were born from. That's where real peace and joy comes from.

But look at us now. We're struggling with mental health issues, feeling lost, and relying on drugs to feel okay. Those are our warning signs, just like the canaries miners used to carry down into the coal mines. When the canaries got sick, the miners knew there was danger. Our world is in danger, and we need to pay attention.

What's the solution? We can't just put a band-aid on the problems. We need a big change, one that makes sure we're caring for our human needs instead of just rushing ahead.

Where do we start? It's a huge problem, but each of us has the power to make a change. We can take control of our own lives and make them more meaningful. We can find our own peace and purpose.

How do we do that? By getting back to our 'Natural Wisdom', the knowledge that's in our veins, our hearts and minds. We need to learn from our ancestors, to live with respect for the world around us, and to rely on our own abilities. It's a tough journey, but it's worth it. You'll grow as a person and help others to grow, too.

Are you ready for that journey? Are you ready to be a part of a bigger change in the world? Your journey starts here. Let's rediscover our roots and find ourselves again.

CLARIFICATION

To clarify, it isn't science and technology that I contest, but rather the paradigm that governs their application and, indeed, our broader societal functioning. This dominant worldview, underpinned by anthropocentrism, materialism, and unbridled consumerism, veils our ability to recognize our place within the world's complex network of life.
