He quotes: “You and I mistakenly believe that Man is the pinnacle of divine creation, and the whole surrounding world is immeasurably below him. Yes, thanks to the presence of reason, a person has the opportunity to learn the laws of nature, which gave birth to him. Understanding these laws gives him power over nature, and he exercises this power.
But does nature need what man needs? Humanity builds factories and plants, turns back rivers, cuts down forests, extracts oil, has been fighting among themselves for many centuries, everything that we have created destroys or mutilates (kills) nature. Everything that people have done for themselves is completely useless for nature!
A person’s mind is directed against the world that was created for him, a person breaks this world, trying to create an artificial world. Man is a kind of vestige on planet Earth, remove man, and life in the natural world will change for the better.”
