Done a naturo

To abandon gracelessly, usually a plan. Usually refers when a person agrees to a well made plan, and abandons it the last second giving no good reason.

Jake was supposed to make it to the beach, but he’s done a Naturo.
I was winning a valorant match, but one of my teammates did a Naturo, we lost every round after that.

Man Of Nature

The Lord that controls all parts of nature, including chickens and cows, to bring evil to justice.

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
You should know that a man
With the power of nature
Can bring you to the end of your luck
And you should know by my stride
And the look in my eye
That you're about to be massively forced to give up!
Chicken attack
Chicken attack
Watch your back
Before it fades to black
They might look harmless
But they'll kick your non-chicken ass
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o!
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o!
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
With the power of nature
You're never alone
And you can't let evil run amok
Every beast, every tree follows me to the end
And you're about to be massively fucked!
Chicken attack
Chicken attack
Watch your back before it fades to black
They might look harmless
But they'll kick your non-chicken ass
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o!
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o!
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
You're young and you're hungry
Perhaps short on money
I give you this chicken today
Its eggs for your dinner
Its legs for next winter
You won't have to steal again
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o! (Go chicken go)
Go chicken go-oh-o-oh-oh-o! (Go chicken go)
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
Ola-li ali-li oh-li ola-oh-li-li
Ola-li ali-li oh-li ola-oh-li-li
Ola-li ali-li oh-li ola-oh-li-li...

Spectral Variables (Natural and Exact Sciences)

Even in the hardest sciences—physics, chemistry, mathematics—spectral variables operate, though they're often harder to see. They include the material history of your equipment (was that laser calibrated correctly?), the human factors in "exact" measurements (who read the dial and were they squinting?), the theoretical assumptions baked into your instruments (your detector is built on theories that might be wrong), and the metaphysical commitments that shape what questions seem worth asking (why this phenomenon and not that one?). The natural sciences achieve their precision not by eliminating spectral variables—impossible—but by developing elaborate rituals to keep the ghosts at bay, knowing they can never fully succeed.

Spectral Variables (Natural and Exact Sciences) "You think particle physics is pure? Every result is haunted by Spectral Variables: the grad students keeping the detector running on three hours of sleep, the funding decisions that prioritized some experiments over others, the theoretical biases in your data analysis software. The numbers are exact; the ghosts are infinite."

Critical Theory of Natural Sciences

The application of Critical Theory to the natural sciences—biology, chemistry, physics, and fields studying the natural world—examining how they're shaped by social forces and how they can serve domination or liberation. Critical Theory of Natural Sciences asks: How have natural sciences been used to justify racism, sexism, colonialism? How do funding and institutional power shape research agendas? Could natural sciences be practiced differently—more democratically, more ecologically, more justly? Drawing on feminist science studies, postcolonial science studies, and environmental justice, it insists that natural sciences are never just natural—they're social through and through.

"Science is science, they say. Critical Theory of Natural Sciences asks: whose science? Funded by whom? For what purposes? Biology justified eugenics; medicine experimented on enslaved people. Natural sciences have histories of harm. That doesn't make them wrong; it makes them human. Critical theory insists on remembering those histories—and building science that doesn't repeat them."

Critical Theory of Human Nature

The application of Critical Theory to concepts of human nature—examining how claims about what humans "naturally" are reflect social values and serve political interests. Critical Theory of Human Nature asks: Why are certain traits called "natural"? Who benefits from defining humans as competitive, selfish, aggressive? Could human nature include plasticity, cooperation, solidarity? How have claims about human nature been used to justify inequality? It doesn't deny that humans have biological constraints but insists that "human nature" is never just descriptive—it's always prescriptive, always political.

"Humans are naturally competitive, they say. Critical Theory of Human Nature asks: naturally? Or socialized under capitalism? Humans cooperate too, share too, care too. Which 'nature' you emphasize reflects your politics. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from the 'selfish gene' story? And what would change if we told different stories about who we are?"

Theory of the Natural Spectrum

The theory that "naturalness" exists on a spectrum, not as a binary category. What counts as natural varies across contexts, cultures, and historical periods—things once considered natural (slavery, patriarchy) are now seen as social constructions; things once considered unnatural (homosexuality, women working) are now recognized as natural variations. The Natural Spectrum recognizes that naturalness is not a property of things themselves but of their relationship to cultural categories, scientific understanding, and historical context. A smartphone is unnatural in one sense (not found in nature) but natural in another (made from natural materials by natural beings). The theory calls for mapping where phenomena fall on multiple axes of naturalness.

Example: "He argued about what was 'natural' as if it were simple. The Theory of the Natural Spectrum showed why it wasn't: a virus was natural in one sense (biological), unnatural in another (harmful), natural in another (evolutionary product). The spectrum revealed that 'natural' was doing many jobs, not one."

Philosophy of Naturalistic Orthodoxy

A branch of philosophy that examines the nature, justification, and implications of naturalistic orthodoxy—asking philosophical questions about the foundations of naturalism itself. The philosophy of naturalistic orthodoxy investigates the epistemological status of naturalist commitments: Can naturalism justify itself without circularity? How do we know that nature is all that exists? What counts as evidence for naturalism, and what would count against it? It also examines the limits of naturalism: Can naturalism account for logic, mathematics, meaning, and value? Does naturalism's own claims presuppose something beyond nature? The philosophy of naturalistic orthodoxy is essential for naturalism to be self-aware rather than merely assumed, for naturalists to understand the philosophical foundations of their worldview rather than treating them as self-evident.

Example: "His philosophy of naturalistic orthodoxy work asked whether naturalism can account for its own most fundamental tool—logic. If logic is just a natural phenomenon, why think it's universally valid? Naturalism's confidence in reason may require something naturalism can't provide."
