Zupančič's work is beyond interesting, and the general sentiment sounds nice...but this could really be utter psychobabble potentially. Wanted to post for others' thoughts either way

makes a whole lot of assumptions in that last paragraph for something that doesn't exist and might never exist.
this is a semantics game about the definition of natural not actually addressing the point that was made.
where do we draw the line here? Are animals natural surely they are effected by the events and environment around them.
