So what's the more general point? Surely you're not arguing that there are no patterns in nature?

There are no patterns in nature, you are adapted to accept the chaos.

The definition of a pattern in nature is a consistent form, design, or expression that is not random. There are multiple causes of patterns in nature.
random definition: 1. happening, done, or chosen by chance rather than according to a plan.
DNA looks exactly the same in every organism on Earth. All living things have DNA. And whether it comes from you, a pea plant, or your pet rat, it's all the same molecule. It's the order of the letters in the code that makes each organism different.
Attenborough is gaslighting you man. It's all chaos. Like seeing faces in walls or shapes resembling something in the clouds.

If you were, I'd say that there are patterns in nature, because I, you, we, put them there. They're nothing more than analog maps of our neural pathways. Nature is an illusion. A useful and indeed necessary one, in ways both cultural and biological, but the patterns are not 'really' 'out there' waiting to be discovered.
It's odd to hear philosophers talking about this: I'm a gnosis kind of guy myself. I took a brain-changing chemical and it changed my brain. Go figure.
