Summary

This quote suggests that machines, far from disconnecting humans from nature, actually immerse them further into the complex and significant challenges that nature presents. Instead of isolating humans, machines deepen our involvement with nature's problems, perhaps by providing us with tools and technology to delve deeper into the natural world. It implies that machines are not a means to escape or distance ourselves from nature, but rather serve as a catalyst for exploring and engaging with the intricate issues inherent in the natural world.
