Not to come off as agreeing with the post, but I believe, from seeing other stuff, that “society isn’t natural” is short-hand for saying that humans evolved to exist in small groups of dozens of people who have to deal with, maybe, several dozen other similar groups of people. Thus it is not in our evolved nature to exist in the massive society of today.
Good point. Natural aint exactly biological but it’s closer and raise an important problem.
We did evolve into bigger society. That’s natural too, resources and services are easier to get with the more people.
On many levels our biology didn’t follow how quickly we invented new way to survive.
The point isn’t to discard society as unnatural of course, but you’re right to acknowledge the problem of our biology. We do need to reconcile the two.
The internet is a prime example of that, intercommunication brought a lot of fracturing of ideologies into smaller groups for example, and a lot of conflict.
I believe in that regard federated Lemmy might be a step on the right direction for social medias.
