This is categorically wrong according to Indian philosophy. Culture is identified as feminine (Prakrti). Not only that, language as a whole is identified with the feminine principle. Activity & power (Shakti) are also feminine. Nature is feminine, but culture is part of it.https://twitter.com/davidgraeber/status/1002584728770400256 …

Symbolism is a way to point towards the truth. I consider that truth can only be realized, not served. Any symbolic representation, any theory, even any algorithmic process.. they can only capture the truth partially and hint at how to go forwards. Never capture truth completely.

There is probably a ground truth (a particular way in which things are). We can only approximate the shape of the space of theories that could explain it. But there are rules for that, we are not free to gesticulate wildly.
