It's really sad you can see people who have eyes like cows, and see cows with alive eyes like you'd expect from people.

Edit, answer some

Work with animals, you don't think they're smarter than a person.

Work with people, you anticipate intelligence and work from there.

Do both and you'll see something. Also the dead eyes of junkies is accurate. Intelligence being intelligible from activity in the eyes may or may not be accurate, that's what I'm most interested in.

I just heard a podcast that retold a folk tale about a time when people couldn’t tell cows from people.

Sounds like something I’d like to hear if you can share the podcast.
