This is the whole crux of the comic that I see so many people, even in this thread, misunderstanding. Nature isn’t some “out there” thing, or even something we “emerged” from. There is no emerging! This is it. Me on my phone eating a second veggie dog while scrolling on my phone is part of nature. You reading it - also nature.
Yes, well that’s tautological, isn’t it? Nature is everything, so everything is nature. What’s the point of having the word if it doesn’t carry any meaning?

We already have plenty. The universe. Reality. Existence. Creation. The world, as you said. What does the word nature bring to the table?
