Michael Pollan, the author, gives an extrodinarily insightful TED talk on how much we can gain if we change the perspecive regarding how we view nature.

I must admit, generally prefer the more technical to the philosophical, but at its basis, technical comes from a philosophical outlook, and Pollan’s shift in looking at nature is quite exciting.  Definitely check it out, even though it is longer than the usual internet video.
