[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] This is why I can understand how neurotypical chefs can listen to lobsters writhe and scream. The lobster is alien, the lobster is other, the lobster goes in the sociopathy room—partitioned off from the rest of the mind. All neurotypicals have a sociopathy room, and it makes them unique in the animal kingdom. I suppose it's a nice coping mechanism for the typie, but I think it's entirely disgusting and repugnant.
