Nature's Prerogative

It may not qualify as a socially constructed institutional discretionary authority. Yet, it needs no approval of a general consensual level as to its dictation of the "natural workings" of things. Politics and prejudices are but mere human traits that characterise the "humanly" counterpart of nature's prerogative, relinquishing the latter from such value-laden tendencies which restrict it from existing beyond the human culture; the seemingly impossible state of absolute objectivity.

Even in the absence of any cosmic mechanism of check and balance, there is no such thing as an arbritary abuse of power. For nature knows no difference between the scientific beings called humans. It also isn't driven by any particular goal so that a particular means employed may be deviated from to suit any particular perspective that is somehow always justified. Ultimately, what is justifiable is the fact that its decision need not be reviewed because naturally, it is its prerogative.
