Trying to make moral dichotomies out of "respecting" or "defying" (nature/God/&c.) inherently misses the point, because the mere act of wearing an N95 mask or taking exogenous insulin is an act of defiance β€” as is building a shoddy freeway in a manner that guarantees it's going to get washed out in floods a few times a century.

Sometimes, it's best to not try to "control" forces that don't need us to control them, and which'll hit us back ten times as hard if we do try to control them. Other times, it is an atrocity in and of itself to adopt some kind of moral stance against that sort of "arrogance".

Honestly, I think most cases of ostensible "utilitarianism" or "deontology" in "Western" settings, particularly by people without any better frameworks in their family's traditions, are just people putting consistent language to vibes-based conclusions drawn from, yes, observation of some facets of material reality, but through the lens of whatever Protestantism or Catholicism-derived moral frameworks they've haphazardly assembled from their upbringing and the society around them.
