I tried studying philosophy, as a way to make sense of culture, but found it dense and inscrutable, so I tried studying physics. This was back in the 70's, when various of the popular writers were comparing it to Eastern philosophy and it made a lot more sense, than either Western philosophy, or the current ridiculous descriptions of physics.

As I see it's, a relationship between nature to culture and too much of our concept of nature is filtered through a bunch of cultural baggage. Which makes nature very difficult to understand, as the literature explains it, but from the perspective of nature, the deficiencies of culture become evident.

Having grown up raising and training horses, mostly around a world view revolving around horses and the agricultural underpinnings, I've lived that line, between nature and culture.
