[P] This is why I love dragons so very much! They are the literal definition of danger/resource, sitting at the bottom of the familiarity scale. And that'a where I want to be!! Even if only tangentially. It just feels empweringly moral to head to the far end of the familiarity scale snd say "This is me. This is where I live." It's just a little bit of deeply comforting, morally-fuelled defiance in the face of awfulness.

[P] I legitimately see a refusal to identify as human as a refusal to identify with the familiarity scale and the sociopathy room. I mean, one can't be all about human exceptionalism if one sees oneself as something most humans would immediately parse as danger/resource. It's almost moral to not identify as human, and it's certainly comforting. This is the basis of my species dysphoria. Anything that needn't have those pathologies.

[P] In a way, it's survivor's guilt. I get a lot of that. But this is humanity. And I've given up on that incredibly fundamental change ever happening. I'll ache for those deemed danger/resource today and tomorrow, and.when it's my turn? I'll be relieved. As a conversational note? This is why the people I trust the most don't identify as human. Identifying as aught else is a step away from the familiarity scale and sociopathy room.

[P] The only fix for this is to fundamentally change human nature by destroying the famikiarity scale and tbe sociopathy room. If anyone is working on that? Godspeed, you ought to be bleesed for your efforts as this is the only way to be saintly in this world. But I can't expect it, that's unfair and immoral of me. My heart aches for anyone deemed danger/resource. I wonder who it'll be tomorrow and tomorrow after? It's a burden.

[P] They came for the palestinians, gays, jews, and many others, and we were helpless as we were too few. It's only a matter of time before it's you. As resources tighten, once only certain kinds remain? It'll be hair colour then, so bye redheads. What then? Eye colour? Nose shape? It's only a matter of time. I hate this helplessness so much. I really do. But I can barely move anymore without pain and giddiness. It is just... time.

[P] You never know when you're going to be the next to wind up in the sociopathy room. I fear this a lot as an autistic person, those operating under the familiarity scale will see me. And then it'll be the sociopathy tomb. All neurodivergents will be noticed as unfamiliar as resources tighten, we'll all become danger/resource. It's only a matter of time. All one can do is be thankful for what allotment of peace you're granted.

[P] The point is? These are the good years. This is literally unstoppable. Humanity likely has a couple of hundred years on tbe clock before absolute extinction, and no amount of eishy-washy "Humans are so great! Humans can survive anything!" exeptionalism will changs that. This is just realism. If humans can't overcome this—and realistically they cannot—then a barren earth is inevitable. So... have fun and look after animals.

[P] I'd love that. It's really the only chance. But realistically it's not happening. Humanity will familiarity scale all life on earth into an early grave. I mean, oil will run out in around 35-40~ years (perhaps sooner), the earth is already running out of drinkable freshwater, and animal/plant/insect mass die-offs are the norm. The 99.9% majority will only rely MORE on the familiarity scale, near the end, not less.

[P] I really think it can't/won't. It'd take a clandestine research effort into why a minority of humans don't have a familiarity scale, to figure out the exact process in order to reproduce it, to test it to enzure it can be successfully deployed in other minds, and then for a virus to be released with a global spread. Even if there were enough of us? We could never accrue the necessary resources. Humanity is cooked.
