I love nature. But one thing I am forced to admit about nature is that many of the things that make nature pleasant in practice are actually very artificial: * Clothing and equipment * Public toilets at most 1km away in city parks * Paths, trails, roads * Dangerous animals removed * Lots of active maintenance

this is true as long as we view nature as just a thing that's there to serve and entertain us

which, I mean, I like that part, too. but there's also another part which is more like watching Frozen with your niece for the thousandth time: it's not fun, you don't know why you're doing it, but you know she likes it so that makes you happy. being in untarnished nature can sometimes feel that way, too
