We have a problem with people feeding alligators. Now a gator has a
brain about the size of pinto bean that is optimized for detecting and
obtaining food. It easily learns to associate people with food, and, in
that small brain there is very little difference between being
associated with food and being thought of as food. Fish, raccoon,
labrador retriever, particularly stupid examples of Homo sapiens; it's
all the same to a hungry gator.
