Any normative proposition of the form that โpeople should/shouldnโt do this or that thing because it is/isnโt naturalโ is shot through with logical holes from the outset.
Humans are actors on themselves and self-modification individually and culturally is one of the defining hallmarks of humanity.
Note that I still believe and evidence shows that humans are not as disconnected from the natural world and instinctive or near-instinctive reactions as most people would like to believe, but Iโm discussing post-hoc justifications of what is most likely latent personality tendencies here.
Itโs โnaturalโ to have nuclear families?
Eh, so what. What does that mean? Itโs natural to stab someone in the eye with a stick, too.
Itโs not natural for women (or men) to shave their pubic hair?
Eh, so what. Earrings arenโt natural. Any hair cutting isnโt natural. Surgery isnโt natural. Clothes arenโt natural. This is a terrible argument.
Though Iโm aware that itโs not really what G. E. Moore meant by the phrase โnaturalistic fallacy,โ I will term it that for this brief discussion.
This redefinition of Moreโs naturalistic fallacy to suit my own purposes then is just to demonstrate that any argument (for humans at least, and especially about culture) is doomed from the start and demonstrates more about the speakerโs personality, preferences and biases then it elucidates anything about nature, correct behavior or what is actually natural.
