As I've been reading Gaia’s Garden, I keep noticing how infinitely wise and connected God's universe is. He has built tightly knit ecosystems in nature, and other complex systems (like interpersonal interactions, or economics).
They all point toward God (Alma 30) and the principles that he teaches about freedom of agency, service, connectedness and much more. By noticing them and learning from them, I feel an awesome respect for God and all the creations he's spun up for all of our benefits together.
I can see why it would be easy to worship the creation instead of the creator as warned against in Romans 1 (hence the name of the afore mentioned book).
But more than anything else, I feel a strong desire to transcend the base nature of merely being Antifragile, and instead adopt those principles and learn from them. Knowing that the whole world is a sign (Alma 30) from God, aligning with his systems and how they interact seems like a great way to align with Him in every aspect of life.
