2. Once you just “say it as you see it” the illusions vanish and it seems intuitively obvious. This is what Heidegger means by having nature speak to us, I think. He also talk about an “unveiling”. Everything else is, admittedly sometimes useful, abstraction.

"Darwin" and "nature" are also abstractions, concepts which map something of unmediated reality.

Sure, but that’s not the point. The point is that there’s not some mysterious, inaccessible ideal and unchanging form “Darwin” that is inaccessible to us.

There is an ideal of "nature," a materialistic struggle for existence, which accurately predicts/reflects part of material reality just as "triangle" or "horse" do.

Well, what is it you are talking about when you say "nature"? Have you ever seen a Nature?
