the metronomic regularity with which any scholarly work on human behavior reassures itself that something or another differentiates us from “the animals” is incredible who told you all that if you were no better than an animal you were going to sleep out behind the woodpile
if any of the shit people say differentiates us were true and irreducible, instead of mostly true and contingent (like language and tool use) or just complete bullshit (like ecosystem damage)
