    I’m more concerned that people believe it’s rare, in both humans and the animal kingdom

    Predators will share territory if there’s enough to go around, even forming close relationships across species, sometimes even raising their young together

    Empathy is the natural state, unless there’s enough scarcity. Humans are naturally generous, unless we’re raised in an environment of eternal artificial scarcity…

      Some predators(and scavengers) have special move “Recruit!”, which allows them to invite members of another guild(species) into their party.

      All those rich bastards that are not generous at all must have been raised in a lot of artificial scarcity then. Really artificial since most of them grew up well to do as well.

        They spend all their damn lives not even fully comprehending they’re not living in scarcity, because the only resources they’ve ever been taught to focus on are those which are inherently scarce - competing for attention, fame, social status, etc.
