New rant, domestication, parsed by your neurotype.
.
Watching The Zoo at Tampa or something, they have a Red Wolf with a problem, they’re giving meds, and they’re a little embarrassed, the wolf is talking to them, hanging around asking for his meds wrapped in hamburger, “He’s not as shy as he should be, but it’s working in our favour for this.”
.
The one, more tolerant wolf, that’s the dog origin story, right?
.
I have it here at home too, sixth summer here, this year I have my first tolerant hummingbird, hangs around when I open the door, when I’m out there - and I see the others learning from that one, they do a double take and some stay when that one stays.
.
So right now to me, it looks like everything is ready to be . . . civil, all the time. The zoo shows really drive that feeling home.
.
Domestication isn’t some rare, one in ten thousand year thing, it’s more like . . . normal. The world isn’t 100% aggression all the time, and these are predators.
.
That’s just . . . not to be confrontational, Imma say a polite, “us.”
