The common, did we domesticate XYZ, or did XYZ domesticate us? Conundrum.

Yep. We feed cats, they kill pests which give us disease and spoil our foods.
Makes you think that domestication is maybe the wrong paradigm, neither or us domesticated each other (or we both did) but truly it’s a mutually beneficial partnership, something that is actually common in nature.

I love cats. They choose every day to continue being our friends. They didn’t need to be genetically mutilated to love us unconditionally like dogs. They’re free creatures.

And we feed then every day so they don’t kill and eat us.

This is part one of “the botany of desire”, exploring how four plants, apples, tulips, cannabis and potatoes have adapted human desires, which in turn has made them some of the most successful plant species around the world. The rest of the parts are on Dailymotion too for those interested.

Myc is the real death dinner monster. When everything dies, it’ll be them that don’t and then eat everyone else’s of whatever’s left.
