Humans are largely human because we are terrible "one-trial learners." We twist the tiger's tail until it turns on us. We don't learn. We come back to twist the tiger's tail some more.

Most creatures: don't twist the tigers tail.

Birds, who can't sense the heat, happily eat the pods and poop the seeds everywhere.
