to restore (as a denatured protein) to an original or normal condition \u2013Merriam Webster<\/span><\/blockquote>\r\n

Given that I do not believe there's anything to restore \u2013\u00a0 not simply that we're too far gone \u2013 but that from everbefore, the notion of nature is constructed by humans as a set of malleable parameters. Nature can only change,\u00a0 is in the process of always-becoming. The title <\/span>\"Renature\" <\/span>is akin to replay, or reset, a kind of magical thinking about winding back and repetition that is fallacious; \"Renature\" is set up there in its title space as a reminder (to me) to keep the networks fluid, keep asking questions, reject the compulsion for fixity, and field the mods as they come.\r\n<\/span>","type":"rich"}
