If we were sensible, we'd probably find ways to make places like European and American cities look like a modern version of hanging gardens of Babylon than the grey lifeless buildings we see nowadays.
Being close to nature tends to keep you from going full retard and thinking bugs are the best thing to eat.
Is London THAT green as yes it has a lot of parks and trees but I think the ratio of nature to overcrowded with assholes negates the benefits of nature.
Plus heard from friends it's filthy as fuck in that city, like no one uses a trash can anymore there
Yes exactly, I'm biased perhaps because I'm in the UK, but foreigners will not realise this outside of the London city itself even though I'm not an outdoorsy person really lots of pretty fields and greenery. This is still technically within the 'London' districts or as we northerners like to call it 'the south'. It's all owned by millionaires and general posh people who could be classed as millionaires anywhere else if they sold up and moved.
Has it cured any of their retard behaviour? No, now I think about it more and if you guys thought about it, you've got the same shit going on in places like Los Angeles with the opulent wasting valuable water in their hot environment to keep pretty lawns and they clearly don't seem any happier or calmer for it.
Maybe. Personally I think it's more the producer vs. consumer mindset, and people in the cities are more likely to be 100% consumer with no awareness of the production chain. (perhaps being close to nature is a part of that)
It's part of it, being close to production is one part but just that means you can have people living next to the industrial sector and that doesn't lead to a healthy mindset.
You need access to a non mechanised/urban environment regularly so you remember the difference between what we create and what we sustain through effort and patience.

Clearly you've never talked to or witnessed a Londoner.

I think he means that nothing will stop a Londoner going full retard, no matter how much greenery you expose them too.
