SRPP: Inhuman concepts are impossible

A lot of people will look at something like the holocaust as inhuman. Against human nature, which some claim is for humans to be moral.

People will say that torture is inhuman, or slavery.

In stories, demons and monsters and mythical creatures are often called inhuman because they cause pain in various forms and lack remorse of any form.

The way I see it, being a dick is part of being human. You can't say something is inhuman when a human is fully capable of doing it. Humans are capable of causing pain and misery, that doesn't make them inhuman.

Demons and monsters only inhuman in that they are not physically human. It is impossible to say that something is mentally inhuman, that a concept is inhuman, because we are sentient, sapient, and self-aware. We define what human is, anything a human defines can only be human.
