I read Tribes yesterday: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28119237-tribe https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28119237-tribe It’s an up and down sort of book — 6/10, imo — but it makes some interesting connections with the social past of homo sapiens and the tendency of contemporary society to remove the individual from their community (often due to financial independence) countering more than 1m years of human experience. A couple of interesting quotes: “Modern society has perfected the art of making people not feel necessary.” “We are not a good society. We are an anti-human society. We are not good to each other. Our tribalism is to an extremely narrow group of people: children; spouse, perhaps parents. Our society is alienating, technical, cold, and mystifying. Our fundamental desire is to be close to others, and our society does not allow for that."
