Reality

You may wonder what I was worrying about yesterday.

Well, my concern is simple: Real-life farming nowadays is very different from what we saw in the school outing. For example, let me pretend to be the great detective under S.S. van Dine and ask: How often do you see a real farm that keeps goats and rabbits and cows and pigs and so forth? Similarly, how often do we have grapes and eggplants and strawberries and papayas and potatoes and carrots and another two dozens kinds of crops - each and every one of them that we expect - from a single farm?

No, never - unless the place is carefully put up as a showcase. In a place that really makes a living by growing crops, it will inevitably focus on one or two types and do nothing else. This is the inevitable result of  division of labour, as predicted by Adam Smith.

The nature that we wish to see is nothing natural.
