Attack of the Theocrats!
There's a scene in the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes, (not recommending it) where a chimp with human level intelligence is captured and placed in a zoo-like institution filled with unenhanced chimps. The unenhanced chimps shriek and jabber unintelligibly and aggressively at the newcomer. I was curious to know, and now I can ask. What's that like? Does it fill one with gratitude and compassion?
