My definition would be people working together constructively (like townspeople) instead of people working together destructively (like brigands, battalions, thugs, cannibalistic tribesmen, or packs of wild dogs).
- ZenoArrow 10y agoInteresting that you use the term 'cannibalistic tribesmen'. Generally 'uncivilised' tribes have a much more cohesive, collaborative society than the townspeople you hold up as your ideal. Perhaps that suggests there are lessons we can learn from them about how to live with others.
- cicero 10y agoI read "cannibalistic" as a qualifier. Destructive tribesmen are those that are cannibalistic. A collaborative tribal society like you describe is not cannibalistic or destructive and would not be included in his list.
