Deifying nature makes no sense. But that's what we see today: see Janic's spiels for which any disease would be due to our way of life, and that we could cure cancer with remedies from good women, see the anti-vaccination activism, see the promotion of renewable energies yet expensive, intermittent and not even ecological, the promotion of organic agriculture which has no health benefits etc etc
et
Nihilo who adds his nonsense there to the others.
a) the
Nihilo confuses deifying and respecting the complexity of this nature which has allowed him to exist, already, and without which he could not align so many absurdities.
b) all diseases are only consequences of bad personal choices, inherited, cultural and therefore, (previous generations determining the genes)
parents drink and children drink. Otherwise, it's like considering that car accidents are due to the roads, to the vehicles and not to the drivers, even though we know that the behavior of the drivers is most frequently called into question, even when driving is already taking a risk, hence the regulations, the laws (more or less good and effective) which are there to avoid, reduce these accidents. Hey, yes! The way of life, like the way of driving, serves to avoid as many accidents as possible, not to prevent them.
and that we could cure a cancer with remedies from good women,
Another nihilism, one more!
Cancer, and many other pathologies, is only an effect whose causes are more and more known and which calls into question the products invented by industrialists whose consequences become cancers and others.
The good women play no role in it, except that researchers rediscover more and more that the more the diseases are complicated and the more the remedies "of good women" were and still are of a frightening effectiveness for whoever is interested in them, obviously, not the jokers who do not judge on parts.
see anti-vaccination activism
and one more nonsense to add to the rest!
Fear and superstition, inherited from previous religions, shifted from fear of spiritual death to fear of physical death and belief in a future and eternal heavenly future shifted to a technocratic future where all evils and miseries would be erased by this same technology… illusory too!
So there is activism, supposedly antivax, only in response to another prior provax activism such as in politics or economics. Moreover, although practiced for more than a century, no vaccination has ever proven its effectiveness in real life, in the field, among all the populations of the earth, because otherwise: where are the historical proofs, ( currently absent), indisputable?
the promotion of organic farming which has no health benefits
This is a promotion of fans of agricultural and sanitary chemistry who claim the harmlessness of these products even though they have been scientifically and medically increasingly questioned since their use, which has provoked a salutary reaction. farmers anxious not to poison themselves, their families and the consumers of their crops.
So: Not degrading your health with all these artificial products is already a huge advantage for it. You really have to be IDIOT not to realize it, except among idiots precisely.
The problem of
Nihilo it is their obstinacy in wanting to remain so!
