I wouldn’t talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren’t.
I always thought it was a little arrogant of us humans to assume if we created something, or cause something to happen, that it isn’t considered part of the natural world. Like, of course it is. As you said, anthills are natural, beaver dams are natural, so skyscrapers are just as natural as a bird’s nest.

I mean, humans are perfectly natural beings. Everything we do to cause climate change comes from natural sources.
Technically it’s natural. It’s just more accurate to say man-made.
That’s just semantics. If you go by that logic literally nothing in the universe isn’t natural meaning the word natural would have no meaning.
Right, and only would something be considered “artificial” if it was outside of our universe.

Yeah but climate change causes natural disasters.
