Humans are Natural!!!!

Sorry, but I am fed up of hearing people say that human beings are unnatural, and that we do unnatural things... WE DON'T!!! Everything we do is natural, or we just wouldn't do it... maybe our houses and skyscrapers aren't as beautiful as an anthill, or birds nest, but they are just as natural... farming is natural... ants do it, why is it unnatural for us, but not for them... war is natural.. chimps do it... why shouldn't we... even our polluting of the atmosphere is natural.. it's what we do... it may not be "nice," it may not be "wholesome" but it is natural... we are just as much a part of nature as a chimp, a rat, a sparrow, a cod, a frog or a virus... whatever we do is natural.... sorry, but that's how it is...

even our polluting of the atmosphere is natural

Humans naturally makes messes. Yup, I'll believe that. 😉

It's natural simply because we do it... if it wasn't natural for us to do it, we wouldn't..... nature does not equal nice.... for instance, hippos pollute water sources by crapping in them... cows farts influence global warming... blue-green algae indiscriminately poisions fish and mammals for no reason at all.... its all natural....

natural enough to make a difference

I'm not!

you're not a human, natural or agreeing? 😑

Natural!
Sounds like a hippie-thing ✅

groovy babey, yeah 😐

Yers> I'm kidding! 🙂

The day chimps build rocket-launchers, ants use irrigation and the sea-gulls cruise by with headphones humans will be "natural". Until then... nope...
BGK> I do se what you mean, though. I think the problem lies in the definition of "natural"... the word is often abused to deem, say, homosexuality "wrong" as it is not "natural", etc.

so was I 😖
and do those sea-gulls need to invent those headphones too or can I just place them on them?

Omega pounded it right there.

The next time I see a gorilla building a chemical treatment plant or a nuclear bomb, I'll think humans do natural things.

Of course, humans being alive is natural, but what we do is not.

The origins of humans are natural but the things we do aren't. Destroying our own environment (on which our existence depends) is in no way natural.

Yea i disagree BGK, natural aquires equalibrium with the environment, we do not, we permenantly change it.

Good opinion but half of what you are saying is right and the other half is not. Humans are natural but as loads of people have said, what we do is not.

I kind of agree to a point, certainly our life and to a degree our motivations are natural, but the implementation does not appear to be. I feel humanity has moved beyond natural constraints or nature, the bounds of instinct and so forth. The majority of life out there exists in an essentially symbiotic relationship with the earth, and there is equilibrium. At best we exist as parasites....

To put it another way, humanity has reached the stage where screwing up the ecosystem won't result in our immeadiate extinction.

Yes, which means we are above the natural constraints that bind most of nature, boom and bust, and meluthian cycles and so forth.

Is a delayed extinction better than immediate one? The world can only take so much from us.....

Better from the point of view of the people who, er, get to exist. I'm not sure what the rest of the biosphere thinks about it though.
