The understanding of natural versus artificial, helps to differentiate what emerges spontaneously from interactivity and natural selection and what emerges through human interventions, governed by human ideologies.
It clarifies, as language ought to do.
It distinguishes and differentiates.
For example, defining artificial, in the way I just did, the difference between gene/meme is accentuated, and such concepts as morality can follow to differentiate what moral behaviour is, how it emerges naturally, and at what point man intervened with a new set of ethics - addendums to natural behaviour that made cooperative reproduction and survival possible.
We can now distinguish morality from ethics, giving a different term to man-made behaviours born out of social necessities form those born form natural necessities, born from natural selection processes.
As always nihilists want o reduce everything to meaninglessness. and uselessness. they want to conceal rather than reveal.
If not absolute certainty, then absolute uncertainty. Applied selectively, always.
No skepticism in some areas, and extreme absolutist standards in others. Inconsistent consistency. The mark of a hypocrite.
Watch the straw-manning above. I never used “unnatural”…yet this imbecile puts it in my mouth, like the other one, his intellectual equal, iamgbiguous did.
Artificial does not mean ‘unnatural’. I defined it in a very precise way. But this hypocrite wants to ridicule….because cynicism has worked so well ni his life, he wants to continue.
The Nil is powerful. All must be absorbed into it, before they surrender to it. An act of vengeance before the absolute end.
Negate, ridicule, nullify, repeat.
It’s always another’s fault.
If not gawd, not the judges, not da paulice…then the Universe.
Power of the nil.
