The recent post about domestication and domination made me wondering how the term nature and "natural" is defined in the context of anarchism, specifically green and anti-civ varieties. Can anything human-made be "natural"? Can something doesn't made by human be "un-natural"?
Interesting to hear out your thoughts

There's an etymological root shared by nature, generate, genuine, kind. It's all beginning, birth, origin. There's an etymological root shared by art, arm, army, arranged, order. It's all manufacture, artificial, hand-made.
Basically, the old tension between being and doing, preservation and progress, coming from and moving to. And between there's the one that unites them in a massive contradiction, which in turn disperses the one into many. Kinda like what nature's been doing and what human beings have done. #deep #wisdom #fencesitting
