The snag in living in tune with nature is we're part of nature, it's part of
us. We are not separate and apart from it; that's where the problem lies.

My semi-scientific, logical answer is that all species produce some kind
of usefulness for their (nature's) future over and above what they
consume in resources. Erwin Schroedinger (yes, the guy with the cat in
the box) called Life the "Anti-Entropy" force. For humans to be
considered as 'in tune' with nature, they would have to collectively be
putting more back than they take.
Anyone who believes that some form of capitalism/democracy/humanism is
going to do that is fooling themselves. Everything about our idea of
'civilization' is oriented toward taking advantage of nature for the
profit of humans until nature fails, then trying to 'fix' something up
just to keep doing the same things.

Lots of people like to say they 'want to live in tune with nature', but
doing so goes against everything in the human imagination since we
evolved it. To live in tune with nature requires that humans all get a
lobotomy and become apes again.
