[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] My cat, a oredator who evolved to kill to eat, felt anxiety and sadness about unnecessary kills. It always strikes me as odd that people don't realise the animal kingdom has a lot of anxiety, even amongst carnivores. This is Anxiety World. And yet, despite that, neurotypical humans can experience a lobster being boiled, nonplussed. I don't like that. I think this is why humans are statistically the most deadly.
