Re: Ramblings

Then again, I also do not consider "natural" or "unnatural" to be categories with any moral value at all.

I agree and take this further. Nature is as nature does. Humans are natural. It is natual for humans to invent, sort, figure things out... and apparently be to be at least somewhat self destructive, but this may be because of the overpopulation (in terms of counties like China, for example since the population growth of the U.S. is now at 0, and this is with immigration). I do not make any distinction between nature and technology. Ususally by "natural" people mean "earth friendly" which is morally good in my opinion. By "unnatural" people tend to me either just plain beyond cultural values (having sex with a dead dog for example) and may or may not be wrong (or is just plain disgusting) or destructive to other nature, which I believe to be immoral. Okay, nature destroys itself all the time, part of life cycles. I get that, but I mean extream exploitive damage, a disregard for how things work to the point where the dammage does long term damage to an evnironmental system.
