We've been around for two million years without anything like this. Electricity bad!

  ...was someone claiming that electricity is human nature, to make you think this was a valid analogy?

    We didn't have X for two million years therefore X bad I think it's a very strange argument.

      My claim was that something we didn't have for any substantial amount of our two million years of existence isn't "human nature", not that it was "bad" (weird moralising on your part). Electricity isn't "just human nature" either. We should decide whether we as a society want or accept a given thing based on its effects on all of us, not whether it's "human nature" (which is almost always an incorrect claim when it's made).
