WHY WOLFBRAIN?

Wolves were an early target of human wielded cruelty. Hominids feared them. A predator as adaptbale as themselves, with far more physical power. This held for some time until Humans. They fought and killed wolves. They took the wolves children and made them subservient. Those that couldn't serve, were killed. They took successive generations and molded them. Perverted them. Wolves now hunt for humans. Wolves control other animals for humans. And worse, still, wolves are genetically twisted into cruel shapes for human enjoyment. Through all of this cruelty, these domestic wolves still carry a profound capacity for love. The pack instinct allows them, despite everything, to afford love for humans.

Wild wolves still exist, dwindling but adapting. Filling niches unknown. Hunted to near-extinction one thousand times over but still persisting. Still standing as a mockery to humanity's best attempts to lawnify every wild place. The pack instinct allows them to find each other, defend each other, and survive with each other.

PACK INSTINCT

There's a feeling, you may have experienced it, where you look at someone and think "I will do anything for them." You would fight for them, offer them sheleter, and live for them. You could never sell them out for personal gain. You would never leave them hungry. You've never even given serious thought to harming them. That feeling, that is a hint of pack instinct. You are affording a level of love that you can never know is reciprocated. You trust that it is reciprocal. You may not even care if it is, the love you are giving another is sometimes enough. You are operating on a level of love and trust that is counterintuitive to this world humans have made. You are operating counterintuitively to Human. We proffer that this feeling should be expanded. This is how pack instinct is embraced. This is the only way we can heal ourselves in this awful world humans have created. More importantly, its the only way we can survive it.

IN-PACK VERSUS OUT-PACK

Does this mean those outside of your pack are enemies? No, not at all. Pack instinct shows that our pack is not the only one. The love we feel through this instinct is holographic. Breaking that love within another pack, through casual, human-like cruelty, is unfathomable. Pack instinct dictates we protect those we love, protect our territories, our source of sustenance, from others. Pack instinct also tells us that this love is able to be expanded. Packs can grow. Charity can be extended to other packs. Lone wolves can be offered shelter. All of this is predicated on trust, of course, and breaking that trust is just as unfathomable. Hurtful in a deep and unexplainable way. Maybe you've felt this and could not chalk it up to the common human sentiment of "Thats just how things are." You felt betrayal in a way that is counterintuitive to how the human world works.

SELF DEFENSE, RECONTEXTUALIZED

One wolf is a fierce opponent. A pack is force, multiplied. Self defense, as humanity understands it, is learning to fight. A good skill to have, no doubt, but it will only get you so far. There will always be more fights, there will always be more cruelty, and eventually you will faulter. You need your pack to be with you when you do.

You will need to know when to run. You will need to know what fights to chose. Your pack functions as a check for these impulses. When you fight, you involve your pack. They will always bear the brunt of your choices. Their input ensures they will have your back when things go south. They can tell you when your hackles are raised, even if you can't. They can tell when you are barking at shadows, even when you're terrified.

Pack instinct obliterates individualist notions of self defense and in its place, leaves soomething far stronger.
