I've noticed the phenomenon of humans desentientizing someone by declaring them as "sacred", which works as a prelude to "sacrifice". Seems like some very ancient human bullshit based on objectification, but it's not objectification for commodification, it's objectification in the service of the ego by trying to convince one's ego that you're not a monster, that you're nice and good.

Sacrifices are ways of penitence without having to actually feel bad for anything you do. Oh no, I committed crimes and sins! Here's a goat. Conscience clear.
