    I would say there is no language of nature; there are things that happen, and we can approximate what happens using math. Math can be used to describe basically anything, so the fact that we can understand these things through numbers is not extraordinary.

          Art and humour are inevitable consequences of sentient animals having the capability to create them.

          I think of it like squares and rectangles. Everything created by humans is natural, but only a fraction of natural things are created by humans.

          There is a natural progression from some particles colliding at the beginning of the universe all the way to low effort memes being posted on Lemmy.

            You’re operating with a RIDICULOUSLY overbroad definition of “natural” that includes pretty much everything artificial 🤦

                The action may come naturally, but the tools are by definition man-made and thus artificial.

                    I can’t tell if you’re a troll or you genuinely don’t know how language works, what words mean 🤦
