What if loving nature and seeing its industrial potential are not contradictory?

I love this thought: My hypothesis here is simply about one effect of striving for psychological feng shui. Namely, that it erodes our tolerance for contradictions. And that tolerance is a key faculty for emotional regulation.

Not contradictory at all to a utilitarian. I’ve heard many times that humans used to make no distinguishment between function and fashion. That which is functional is fashionable.

Kind of skeptical of this folk tale though
