"Natural" state. For "civilized" societies.
Do you realize just how stupid it sounds?
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoThey're very loaded terms for sure; see https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem#Naturalistic_fallacy https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem#Natur... and https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature for example. I couldn't find a poignant link for "civilized", but that too has Connotations - that there's uncivil societies that commit uncivil behaviour like idk, monogamy.
