Yeah, but if you don't know why the meat works the way it does, you're a fucking idiot.

I know why it works the way it does. So humans can spread like a virus, no matter how much suffering and destruction it causes. This is why humans love social order and authoritarianism and tribalism: because even though it makes 99% of peoples' lives suck it's more efficient at maximizing procreation and destroying competing tribes, and people are generally very willing to make such a sacrifice for this pointless agenda. It's also why life will always suck for those unlucky enough to be born male, because the whole reason for making us that way is so we are specialized to slave better for that cause at our own expense.
