Oh well, was just dipping into the delights of some old Martin Gardner. Amazing how the human brain works.
It’s not fundamentally different from cattle vs pets, but I like how it shapes the human agency. There is a problem in your cow/wheat/server -what do *you* do? Can you intentionally ignore it by virtue of large numbers, or stop everything to resolve?
