See “Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog”, the Casper David-Friedrich painting imitated a billion times over in Instagram alone. Western thought places ourselves central and above nature, as though conquering. Curiously, this may have to do with cultures which developed cultivating wheat rather than rice because of the more communal nature of the latter.

Western thought places ourselves central and above nature, as though conquering.

Precisely this. Think about our speech. "I conquered that mountain." "Columbus 'discovered' the Americas." etc., etc. It's a certainty that the mountain was unaffected by someone reaching the summit and that the Americas existed before (and were populated by people, not to mention found by other Euros) before Colón arrived.

I almost included it initially, but the rabbit hole is deep.

Speaking of holes, one of my favorite phrases is "dig holes in your own backyard." It's another Eastern idea whereby we explore the things close to us and learn more about where you live. Too many of us forget how rewarding that can be.
