I found Yuval Noah Harari’s “Sapiens” makes a similar argument, that these things are inter-related and hard to separate (I.e. are nebulous). I have no problem with that, so long as we also recognize there are still patterns that exist beyond the human scale.

Yes, I agree it isn’t so easy. But the simplistic, and increasingly popular view, that we humans simply co-create our reality together is absurd and self-absorbed. It makes no room for non-human intelligence or even for the influence of our past.

This is tricky, right. On the one hand contemplative experience seems to foreshadow the language used to describe natural phenomena however on the other, without human language (construction) humans couldn't know there was an experience to have in the first place.

The problem I have is with concluding that because there is nebulously, when it comes to our understanding the relationship between humans and the “natural” environment, that this somehow means that it’s all a human construction.
