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?

What examples of nature are you talking about then? The time a dog was nice to you? Nature is literally indifferent to our existence
Maybe that dog wasn't indifferent to yours.
That isn’t an answer to the question and doesn’t in anyway nullify the broader concept of nature as indifferent - animals are merely part of nature and my experience from truly being in raw primal nature is that, of course things react to you, as you are also in nature, but in those circumstances the forces of survival outweigh any anthropomorphism that humans would normally attribute to the interactions we more normally encounter in our garden environment
My point is that when you pair a certain perception with a certain experience, it's possible for things to seem one way or the other.

Some people are very stuck in their perceptions.

That’s not the point you’re making, in fact you’ve really failed to make any point except a poor attempt to anthropomorphise nature and not provide any examples of how nature ‘caring’ is a universal phenomenon
It's always a red flag when someone thinks they know what point I'm making better than I do.
