>'nature' does not empathize back

except when it seems like it does

[anthk]

Nature in South America's jungles, the Arctic, or Australia doesn't give a shit if you live or not. You have better chances of dyeing fast than being alive. You know, still nature. Harsh, but nature.

Stack plagues, bacteria-ridden water, parasites, funghi, predators and so on, and I'd say "nature" doesn't like you at all.

[seigando]

Yes, those are not examples of what I'm talking about.

[anthk]

Then you are under a confirmation bias.

[seigando]

First of all, lets not level accusations without some level of explanation. That's just rude.

Second, on what basis do you claim that I'm the one with a confirmation bias and not yourself?

[robbiep]

What examples of nature are you talking about then? The time a dog was nice to you? Nature is literally indifferent to our existence

[seigando]

Maybe that dog wasn't indifferent to yours.

[bserge]

Hell, a hundred people walking by a homeless guy don't give a fuck if he lives or dies.

Humans are on the same level as any other bunch of atoms to nature.

I think it is more complex than that. People can 100% care about the person in the street while still choosing not to help. They might believe that the person is insane and can’t be helped, they might believe that helping encourages the person to not self-help, or they simply prefer to spend their time/energy on people they love instead of strangers.
