Awesome! I've only really tried to talk about this stuff with my neurotypical family so it's nice to be able to lay it out like it is in my mind.
I ultimately agree with you on the liberatory power of altruism, but I guess my main premise is that it might be easier to find a framework that transforms self-directed behavior into collective action than to actually convince people that they should be less selfish. The people who think like we do are probably already on our side to the degree that they feel materially safe to side with us.
That makes more sense to me.
