This metaphor is pretty interesting because a Dolphin is and organism meant to move from one source of extremely briefly available source of calories to another extremely briefly available source of calories across a vast and unforgiving liquid desert which is a weirdly apt paralell to what being unable to produce enough dopamine and having to constantly move between sources of stimulation to avoid mentally starving and sinking into the black abyss of depression.
