cement is natural
thats like saying a wasp nest is unnatural. its some weird paperish thing that wasps make there homes out of. it doesnt occur naturally unless a wasp makes it.
same can be said for cement. it doesnt occur naturally unless a human makes it.
we do not extend beyond what is natural. that is impossible. we just have different definitions or something yo. everything is natural. its just what it is. when you think of nature you must think of the woods.
theres a reason there is a saying "its in his nature". its something he naturally does. its in bill gates nature to do nerd shit you would view as unnatural, when in reality it is as natural as it gets bro
but word this is going nowhere. im agreeing to disagree and am saddened you refuse to see the light.
