[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 oartner wss watching Terminator 2 the other day and it got us talking about mental institutions. Could they really be that bad? Apparently, those scenes in the film were based off of studies, accounts, and evidence of what happens at these institutions. Psychological abuse, beatings, chemical abuse, electroshock, rape, waterboarding... they're all just Guantanamo Bay over and over. And why does it happen?
