JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 day agoWell, I don’t know what you’re doing with that spinach over there, but yeah, makes sense to me. We have a natural bias towards the familiar & repulsion towards the unfamiliar, even in trivially-important matters, no doubt much like other advanced life on the planet. #2 on Maslow’s Hierarchy, I guess.

Spinach needs love too! 🤔 Absolutely. It’s shocking how much clarity you get on human behaviour when you assume much of it is based on unconscious/animalistic tendencies haha. And yes, #2 is a good shorthand for this - I take a lot of heart from knowing we’re like other advanced life, makes complex existence a little less… existentially isolating, I think?
