I don’t think I’ve ever really felt any emotional resonance to an appeal to nature. Not even in my hippie-Wiccan late teens and early twenties.

But I’m endlessly curious about how minds work:

Is “unnatural is the same as bad” a foundational position for you, or is it that you dislike masks and this argument is a metaphorical soldier you’re sending out to do memetic battle for you to support that dislike?

Or is it something else entirely? Like I said, I never “got” this type of appeal. The unnatural is too commonplace and too useful.

All clothing is completely unnatural.

I get your point. But pollution is completely unnatural, too. We got to a point where few things are still natural in this world. I don't know if masks are effective against this kind of diseases, but I guess those 9M who die prematurely every year would have chosen to use them.
