You really need to go outside more. Modern society isnt some state of transcendance beyond nature.

I don't think we're beyond nature, but as it stands we certainly aren't acting within it. We aren't cavemen. We don't have to hunt our food. We know the impact we have on nature, and more importantly how to lessen that impact.

We are nature. You need to stop pretending we are magically no longer living things just because you realized other living things are also alive.

What? Is reading comprehension a struggle for you? I know we're naturally occurring. I'm not even sure what you're getting at.

You claim you know, and then immediately contradict yourself. Not something someone does when they actually understand what theyre saying.
