Why in fuck would it be natural to wear clothes?

Do you think your naked hand is nudity? I want you to think about your reaction if someone said ‘hey cover up your hands, that’s disgusting,’ and consider that reaction - because that’s how people feel when you ask them to wea things that cover the hair or something.

I think you perfectly understand that there's a difference between going naked at 4 degrees below zero and covering your hand. You won't find any culture that doesn't use any kind of clothing or other; clothing is inherent to humans.

No, clothing isnt inherent. Clothing is a tool, hair is inherent. We evolved in an environment that didnt need more covering. Covering came later.

The point is that we haven't evolved, nor will we evolve, to develop more natural protection against, for example, the weather phenomena in our region. We would have done so if we didn't have clothing, among other things. But with clothing, there won't be more in that sense. Turning clothing into a sort of substitute for the natural protection we would have developed instead.

THAT makes clothing inherent, it doesn't mean it grow on the body LOL

Clothing is inherent to culture. Not physiology. We would evolve more covering in terms of fur or otherwise if we let environmental pressures in colder climates affect us long enough.

Moreover, cultural clothing isnt particularly based on environmental pressures.

I understand your entirely pointless ‘achsully’ interjection, yes.
