The egregore is real, and it does not care about your welfare

-
@St_Rev But the rancher with ten million cows cares very little about just one; if at all, abstractly. -
@St_Rev And if it makes cows faster than it loses them, it probably doesn't care at all, so long as it has some return on the beef -
@blue_traveler@St_Rev They're not that indifferent. Positive beef ROI is not enough if other rancher doing better, or is trying to rustle. -
@othercriteria@blue_traveler If rancher occasionally had cause to send cattle into combat with other ranchers tho -
@St_Rev@blue_traveler That's rancher POV, right? Cattle think they're fighting other cattle? (Though maybe easier to espy other egregores?) -
@othercriteria@blue_traveler I'm too tired to understand what you're asking -
@St_Rev@blue_traveler When the rancher sends hir cattle against the other rancher, does zie say "kill those cattle" or "kill that rancher"? -
@othercriteria@blue_traveler I think you're pushing the metaphor way too hard
