    Lions are natural predators. What does framing by language do to our problem solving abilities?

      If you call a human a predator there is only one type of predator people will think about. Sadest reality is language is a social construct and our problem solving is based on what we learn in our cave.

        I cannot remember someone ever calling a human being a predator is a sense that was not sexual. Not necessarily rape or abuse or pedo, but never in a good way and never in a non-sexual way I think.
