Re: "R-I-G-H-T.... Behaviors are 'not natural'...." and your reply: Well they are not.

>>> If they exist commonly - and they do - than that seems a fair use of the word.

You cannot put them under a microscope.

>>> Of course you can! Observation is observation.

You cannot touch them.

>>> "Can't 'touch' them?" That's a fairly silly comment, isn't it?

They simply do not exist in nature.

>>> Of course they do, as I pointed out... in countless profusion across thousands of species. Here you are clearly misinformed.

Instead, they “exist” as expression OF natural things like lions, deer and humans. ONLY by observing nature can we observe behavior.

>>> I made that observation, too. Sociological study of numerous societies make the same observational point: variance is normal.

Bodies are natural, behaviors are not.

>>> R-E-A-L-L-Y now... Isn't mind/body a functioning system?
