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

Nature is great. But pure "nature" is pooping in the forest with nothing to wash your hands, then fighting off a bear and then tripping over a branch and getting a wound, and three days later realizing you have a serious infection.

This also applies to "metaphorical nature", eg. indefinite-optimist views of markets, "spontaneous order", etc.

One counterpoint is that there is a true feeling of joy that comes from overcoming genuine challenge. But this feeling applies to some challenges much more than others!

Day-long hike with 2000m vertical elevation gain: 👍
Pooping with no toilet or place to wash hands: 👎
Getting an infected wound: 😡😰☠

It's a mistake to view pristine nature as some kind of north star of good. It's not, not even for the animals experiencing it. An unavoidable ingredient in making a good world is human intention.

Pure nature is metal, most of us love the watered down version

Very hard to determine what “pure” nature is—apart from the fact that we, sentient beings, are nature too, of course. 

Imho “pure, untamed, untouched” nature is a fiction or, rather, an abstraction. There are environments that are more/less accommodating to human needs. Nature is historical.

alright, we can rent a medical team and go on an UnReal World like survival odyssey together.
