"Many animals that live in societies cooperate with one another to ensure the health, safety, and survival of the group. In fact, cognitive ability and social cooperation has been found to correlate. Animals living in larger groups tend to have an increased capacity for problem solving, such as hyenas, spotted wrasse, and house sparrows." -- Dominique Potvin (silvereyedoc), "Scientists Attached Tracking Devices to Magpies. But Nobody Asked The Magpies", 2022-02-21

[While it's not the point Dr. Potvin was making, at least not directly, this made me think of rugg^H^H^H^Hstubbornly individualist, social-Darwinist types, versus we're-all-in-it-together, stronger when we protect each other, governments should help people types. Cooperation is part of our strength as a species. Anyhow, the rest of the article is more entertaining than the one paragraph that jumped out at me, so go and enjoy reading about magpies rescuing each other from scientists' attempts to study them. (And if Dr. Potvin did intend that message between the lines, so much the better.)]
