Carlson Question 2

Nature is slowly being destroyed, more and more everyday. Is it possible that we as human beings can find an alternative way to live without nature? What would this alternative to nature look like?

I think that if there were any alternative to nature, it would be in art and the capturing of nature through art. In years from now, we may not even know what nature is and we will have to have artistic records in order to appreciate nature. Ignoring the fact that we cannot live without nature, I think that having art as a backup to nature would be the best option since art is derived of nature.

Moreover, having art, literature, and music to tell us about nature would not provide the correct satisfaction which nature gives us. I think human beings would eventually decay mentally and would not have the same mental powers that we have with nature around. Nature provides our minds with something that cannot be attained through any other means; nature can only be imitated never replaced.
