Well, I've a written a lot on that. Short of performing miracles, we can seek shelter in an anti-natural social order such as the one we sustain behind the walls of civilization. And if it were possible to defy gravity with an anti-gravity device, we'd invent that too, supplanting the wilderness with our alternative, artificial refuges.

The revolt happens with personhood too, with a set of properties (intelligence, freewill, self-awareness, imagination, creativity, empathy) that emerge from animality. When we think for ourselves, we're no longer so clearly nature's puppets. Although as physical objects we're bound to follow physical laws, socially and even biologically we write our laws and life narratives. The challenge is to make this temporary (and probably doomed) revolt worthwhile in honour of aesthetic and ethical ideals and perhaps of a prophetic vision of an even more miraculous, transhuman potential.

I have an article coming out in a week or two on this, called "How Civilization Devours Nature like a Black Hole: The unnaturalness of our progress in the universal wilderness."
