The silly line of thinking is that because a human does something, it makes it unnatural.
I understand that it is meant that way. I'm just criticizing it.
People could be born with hot pink hair and at that point it would be natural?
Is plastic unnatural because it is made by humans? If there was a bacteria who produces plastic would that make plastic natural?
It's the underlying misunderstanding that people think humanity is something special.
Let's be real. People say unnatural and mean wrong or undesirable. And I am arguing against that.
With that last part I agree. And I’d bet we probably generally agree, but as a matter of perspective our positions look different. I’m not trying to be obtuse here.
Yes, as I see it, we are divided enough so let's not get hung up on the details. It's enough that you try to understand what I am getting at. Thanks for that.
You seem like a reasonable person so I would say we leave it at that and I wish you a good day :)
