[P] I really do believe that cruelty against otherness is baked into neurotypicals, I don't know what happens to some neurodivervent brains to break us out of it, but I do think the commonality of a fucked dopaminergic system can't be ignored. From all I can muster, a dopaminergic systsm that doesn'f work right results in greater empathy and less tribalism, less of an obsession with harming otherness. So, lobsters.

[P] Now I knoe that all one needs is to be a neurotypical with a perfectly functional dopaminergic aystem. It's funny, really, but I can 100% guarantee you that if boiling lobsters alive bothers you? Then you've got some form of neurodivergence. A kobster is an alien-looking critter, very other, not a kitty or a puppy or a human-of-my-kind. So if the alien dies screaming? Emparhy doesn't activate. "Lobsters aren't like us."
