EfreetSK comments on "Earning a living"

I mean ... in a way? When one looks at it from nature's point of view, no organism has some "given right to live", all organisms try to survive. But do we, as a society, really want to live like animals, each for themself, without empathy, without solidarity?

I'd argue that our social capabilities are our nature, rather than an exception to nature.

Massive disagree, we exist within nature not separate from it.

Human sociality doesn't supersede nature because it's an embedded system within nature.

So nearly got an upvote from me, but then you had to ruin it with a false dichotomy. Better ways

Oh, and also, I just caught before clicking reply, "given the right to live" is a moved goal post.
