Logically and abstractly, yes, everything is "natural". Both nuclear forces and the human collective's behavior are part of the Universe after all. Even as we engineer one tech-driven ecosystem instability after another, it is likely that some living things will survive for the day after. But is this a scenario that should consider seriously? The problem is not the un-natural nature of technology per se but the mismatch between our intellectual ability to unlock potent technology domains that tap unusual (non-biological) spheres, versus our self-governance capability to deploy them in sustainable ways. The lack of any other restoring force besides limited human reason and empathy means its a race against the clock before something really bad happens.
