can't i hack this dichotomy by undertaking biological preservation activities as surrogate activities? So for example, take up hobbies such as gardening, hunting, crafting, etc? How would my monkey brain be able to distinguish the difference while engaged in the activity itself? does this one weird trick solve the problem.

Being outside is the only thing that makes me feel whole and I basically want to start worshipping nature. Are there any books that explore this feeling and aren't just new age hippie bullshit? Fiction or non. I'm already reading a lot about religious naturalism, which is the closest concept that seems to capture my attitude.
