I understand that deep ecologists admire nature, but unless they eschew all the fruits of human progress (such as the technologies you say enable us to transcend our evolved niche), they're whitewashers and hypocrites. Those who don't regard nature as implicitly monstrous should live in the wilderness. Some of these scientific philosophers are also crude reductionists, like Daoists or conservatives who defer to natural norms.

I have an article coming out this week on nature's monstrousness.
