If this "symbiosis of humanity with the ecology of earth" is true, then our supposed ignorance of this fact is irrelevant. If we're so chained to the ecology, then any attempt to rise above it is futile, and every thing humans do, from the industrial revolution to transgender operations, is also natural. Somehow this doesn't seem the case to me, though. If man is capable of fucking exterminating all life on earth with nuclear weapons then clearly we occupy a special place outside the rest of the animal kingdom.
