A stiff dose of LSD on a beautiful day away from a big city would probably do.

No, seriously -

We are destroying not just other species' natural habitats; those natural habitats are our own, that's where we evolved. In billions of years of natural history, we and our ancestors have led a "modern" way of life for a few thousand at most.

We're so adaptable that we can thrive in highly technologically altered environments as well; but I'm quite sure that anyone can experience the feeling of recognizing that those aren't truly home for us.

Every time I've tripped on LSD, I end up admiring the trees and nature. Shortly thereafter I am saddened by the society we live in which is so harmful to the very thing I admire.

Maybe we sneak some LSD into this covid vaccine.

Obviously you're trying to be funny. But nonconsensual drugging, especially with something as powerful and life altering as LSD can be, is as awful (to me and I assume other's familiar with it) as any other nonconsensual psychic change to someone's life. If you didn't know.
