Art and humour are inevitable consequences of sentient animals having the capability to create them.

I think of it like squares and rectangles. Everything created by humans is natural, but only a fraction of natural things are created by humans.

There is a natural progression from some particles colliding at the beginning of the universe all the way to low effort memes being posted on Lemmy.

You're operating with a RIDICULOUSLY overbroad definition of "natural" that includes pretty much everything artificial 🤦

[-] sauerkraus@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Is it not natural for humans to create artificial tools?

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

The action may come naturally, but the tools are by definition man-made and thus artificial.

[-] sauerkraus@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Man-made and artificial things are natural.

I can't tell if you're a troll or you genuinely don't know how language works, what words mean 🤦

My bad. I didn’t know philosophy was unwelcome here.
