The Thinker's Apprentice

61- Nature


Listen Later

In this episode I talk about something I deeply care about and that's Nature. I share my thoughts, some stats, and some science. Topics include:

  • How we lost the nature inside of us and how despite how much we pretend otherwise, we're still animals at the end of the day.
  • I throw some shade at this modern world we've created and how much havoc it wreaks on us and our mental and physical health.
  • And Nature is the place we can go to get away from it all. A place of solace that we've all but forgotten about. 
  • Then I go into all the physiological and mental benefits of Nature, many of which have been scientifically documented. 
  • Then I go into the fact that we're eliminating nature from our world. We see it as something in the way. Something with little value to us as consumers. Something that we don't have to nurture and care for. And this is a major problem.
  • I run some depressing statistics about just how much we're destroying the world and it's alarming. 
  • Then I talk about public lands and conservation in America and what a success it's been and just how rare that is globally. 
  • I try and paint a picture of just what we've done to this earth in our short time here.
  • Then I talk about some of the times that nature has completely awed me and how nature is the only thing that's ever left me in awe. 
  • And then our Call-to-Action is just to get out there and experience nature and all it has to offer. Go hiking, fishing, camping, hunting, climbing, mountaineering, orienteering, kayaking, whatever. Just get out there and enjoy the natural world and all it has to offer. Our lives on the internet are not real.
  • And then I leave you with a great quote from the father of conservation, Teddy Roosevelt.
