I feel like you don't grasp very FUNDAMENTAL aspects of life on Earth

There are non=humans on earth who are incredibly similar to us. Brains inside #Kittens #Dogs #Cows #Pigs - and they communicate with each other and have social systems.

We can't communicate very well with birds or pigs or dogs! #Neurodiversity isn't a #Human only problem

There are even popular books that compare #Autism to animal behaviors.

"One can see looking at the young people today the myths they are living by. I mean everyone is going around in a masquerade. And the only ones that are hard to take are the one’s who take their masquerade seriously. The real wonderful thing is to play the game—that’s as man has developed always. In the very early days of our human race, people made believe they were animals, and that is how societies began. You have totemism; you have masked dances; you have all kinds of animal games that people are playing. And these are supposed to invite the animals— and they did. Then people began playing that they were plants, that if they buried themselves they would be born again — something like that. And so you played that game." - Joseph Campbell, year 1974
