[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] Cheetahs might seem aggressive, but they evolved to kill so fast because it actually gives them anxiety. They often need support dogs to be okay. And speaking of dogs? Feed a pack of wolves and they actually lose the instinct to hunt, this is well-documented. Why? A good amount of wolves don't like hunting. I think the point here is that even carnivores who must hunt to survive can have more empathy than typies.
