Society is very natural, OUR current model of society is sadly not

I think the disagreement here is in definitions, whether hunter gatherer groups are a society.

Just because something is construced/man made doesn’t mean it isn’t real
have you ever heard of gender?
Man made is a common phrase and people made sounds bad
I agree. I just wanted to give you an example for something manmade that isn’t real.
Gender identity is wayy to complex for a simple example and it’s at least partially something natural.
Also I didn’t say that something invented has to be real.
Even Dragons and Witches are real in their own context. They don’t exist in this world but they exist in the world of the stories being told about them.
Biological sex is importantly distinct from gender, and biological sex is quite real and crucial to differentiate in a medical setting.
I work in biotech. I absolutely understand and agree that a person should be allowed to identify with whatever gender expression they want to.
But in a clinical context: no. Full stop. Biological - that is, chromosomal and unaltered phenotypic - sex is very often a crucial data point to understand when testing or treating a patient. It’s science. Chemistry and biology do not give a flying fuck about anyone’s feelings or sensibilities on gender identity.
Edit: as I hoped was very clearly evident from my comment, I am fully aware of the distinction between gender and biological sex. The only reason I even made the comment is because, even at the biotech I work with, sometimes people still conflate sex and gender. Lots of people cross it up all the time - intentionally or unintentionally.
Who said anything about sex?
What do you mean, not real? I don’t like facism, but it’s still real. Saying something isn’t real doesn’t improve it.
Yet the hunger in my belly is all too real
I’ve been reading that rich people are delicious, and best thing is you can just eat them! No money required!
Great for the planet too
This was one of the first posts that made me sign up for Reddit some 10+ years ago. Now I’ve been on Lemmy for a week and I see it again for the first time since.
I’m choosing to take it as a good sign.
At least it’s not a super duper repost.
But the good news is it will implode first!
It actually won’t explode, just implode. The process of becoming a red giant is quite gradual even by cosmological standards, taking about a billion years.
I’d always kind of assumed the sun would hit some point of not having enough fuel to sustain the fusion reactions and everything going to hell pretty quickly, but I suppose it does make sense that it’s a slow process.

He ain’t lying
The sun will never explode. In a few billion years it will puff up to a red giant with a circumference somewhere around the orbit of earth or mars when it starts burning helium. After the helium runs out it will lose the outer layers and become a stellar remnant called a white dwarf. It’ll stay that way til it fades to darkness in a few hundred billion years. At no point will it explode as it doesn’t have enough mass to explode.
Come ooon micronova!
ok go live in the woods then or whatever
