If i see you get attacked by wild animals i guess i won't try to help you, wouldn't want to go against nature or anything

It's funny how this is downvoted. Not that I agree, but wouldn't that be the logical conclusion?

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Rest assured, i don't agree with it either, but as you say this seems to follow from the statement

We shouldn't treat/cure cancer, cancer happens in nature and we're a part of nature
We shouldn't try to prevent rape, rape happens in nature and we're part of nature
We shouldn't try to limit animal suffering, animal suffering happens in nature and we're part of nature

It's the good old argument from naturalism
