"Humans are not going to create an egalitarian society that lives in harmony with nature. The best chance of that happening is by people living in groups no larger than the Dunbar number (~150), within a greatly reduced overall population. The 'authorities' are always doing their best – the road to modernity was paved with good intentions. All attempts at 'solutions' only dig the hole deeper. 'Rewilding' is a drop in the massively overfished ocean compared to the damage that has been (and is being) wrought. Does anyone still buy the story of human 'progess'? Perhaps Nature progresses – it produces ever more complexity yet, due to the timescales, organisms fit into that complex ecosystem. But man's attempts at 'progress' have produced a too-complicated, machine-riddled hell, and have been an unmitigated disaster for the non-human world (and for many humans as well)."
