We often consider Nature to be separate in some ways from human existence. Even such things as architecture or social ties. Yet this seems to be a fallacy. For every "thing" we like to separate out about humans from the rest of nature, we can find a parallel in nature. If we could accurately do this, then it would definitely prove that humans are not special.
We study badger dams as part of nature.
We study populations of elephants as part of nature.
We study forms of communication between dolphins as part of nature.
Why don't we consider the things we study about humans as part of nature?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates A word of warning. The overexamined life also fails to live at all. A collection of thoughts, written down, in the hope that they will centralize my thinking and focus my efforts. This is more for myself, but if you too enjoy it, well then who am I to stand in your way?
