Primitive emotions: fear, aggression, anger. They do
NOT experience disappointment, dashed hope, envy,
Schadenfreude, exultance, pride. Humans *project*
those emotions onto animals, because those are the
emotions humans might feel if they had been in some
situation in which they see animals.
In fact no other humans experience those emotions either, only Rudy.
Humans *project* Rudy's emotions onto each other, because those are
the
emotions Rudy might feel if he had been in some situation in which we
see each other.
Not an adult response.
