This post is a sheer delight. Only thing is, I do feel sorry for the mice. I know that's not scientific, but I can't help it. Your point at the end is brilliantly relevant. Everybody deserves the best education. It's folly to think we can identify talent or a lack of talent in a child. And think of all the children who don't have the opportunity to exploit whatever natural resources nature gave them, merely because they were born in the wrong place. Their loss, our loss. I'm following you and sharing on Twitter.

Being compassionate toward creatures that possess consciousness and can therefore suffer, especially when we're the ones causing the suffering — that's only human, and definitely not not-science. But between suffering mice and suffering relatives (and suffering self), I'd choose the former. Hopefully in the future we won't need to make that choice.
Followed back, thanks for the follow and the share and the reading!
