       I need a better word for 'inhuman' that isn't so anthropocentric.

       @moonbolt I was meaning it a different way. Inhuman as a positive description of departure from a lot of emotional cognitive norms that aren't actually specific to humans but seem to sort of go together.

       @LunaDragofelis Human: "Oh, crap, that's weird! And uncomfortable! IT'S GOING TO KILL ME!"Inhuman: "Oh! That's weird and uncomfortable! I'm going to investigate!"Human: "What? This challenges the ideas of identity? Of personhood? Of how people can relate to each other? IT'S GOING TO KILL ME! IT'S EVIL!"Inhuman: "Well, on reflection I can't really justify the beliefs I had that it was challenging…I'm going to investigate!"Human: "I can't understand how anyone could POSSIBLY like/think/do X, thy must have something wrong with them."Inhuman: "I wonder if can get in the right headspace to really feel the way people who like/think/do X feel…"Human: "That's a bunch of noise and chaos! I don't like it."Inhuman: "I wonder if I can find a pattern in there…"I think I might just be thinking of the reciprocal of 'openness to experience'.@moonbolt

       @LunaDragofelis And just really dislike it when people think 'freak out' is an appropriate response to something they don't 'get'.@moonbolt
