Natural vs Unnatural is a odd concept to me. The pagan gaia types are abhorred at sentience when it hurts a non sentient thing. If macro-evolution is true how are cities and human constructs not natural?

i may have used the wrong word. the point i was trying to make is that i do not think animals even bother to conceive of human concepts such as sexual orientation, or ethics, or any of that shit that we conceptualize and have words for. maybe some can learn better than others, or perhaps some animals are sentient for all we know, but they don't communicate with us in terms we always understand so it's tricky to tell.
i used to train dogs for a living and a big part of that was teaching people to try to think of how situations and their own behavior appears to their dog, but ONLY in concepts a dog might understand.
but yeah, i've often thought of human invention as itself a natural extension of our natural abilities. like why would god give us brains if we weren't meant to use them? it's partly why i am not an anprim.
