It is my belief that ancient humans lived in small tribes, not in big cities. When you’re in a small tribe, you can get to know everybody better. You don’t really need a government because people can rule themselves if given enough time to do so. If you had 1000 friends, you couldn’t know all of them, but if you had 10 friends, you could get to deeply know them. Therefor in small tribes, true friendships are easier and more common. Society is more full of love and understanding, in some ways at least, when it is in small tribes. I believe that for the majority of human time, we existed and were designed or evolved to exist in small tribes. Let’s not forget where we came from! Now we have and need beurocracy in many ways and it’s always been around in its essence. Big groups are made of smaller groups. We have corporations and companies, offices and professionals, schools, etc. and families! We still use small groups. The essence of what was attained in a tribe still can exist in modern society, all you have to do is just live with a small group of people.
While I’ll agree with you for the most part (mostly because it just feels better to) you can fairly easily reverse the lense on your thoughts.
Instead of humans operating better in small groups for the reasons you’ve suggested, it could also be attributed to the self centered nature that humans can have. Maybe we work better in small groups because as the group gets bigger and bigger, issues of incompatability between people increases. It comes up time and time again in work enviroments. I’ve worked in places with small groups where it went well because it was a tight knit community and everyone got along well and I’ve worked in groups where it was pretty terrible just because two people essentially hated working with each other. Once those two were seperated things were fine again.
I don’t really think the size of the group has too much of an impact on humans, but rather the ideology. If everyone is on the same page then the size of the group has less of an effect. If you’ve got people with widely differing opinions on how to do things, then the size of the group doesn’t matter as well. It will just be a power struggle for one set of ideals to come out victorious.
So tribes could have existed for your reasons, or maybe they existed for reasons of having different opinions on how to do things. Or both.
I think we both basically know all of that.
I’m kindof saying “less is more”, and the world is overpopulated right now.
’
Based on what?
It’s at the point where it depleats and harms the ecosystem notably.
This might be right up your ally.
Sounds good, although I don’t know what means they hope to ever bring the population down to 500,000,000.
I think maybe 2 billion would be best.
Yeah, the 500 million thing is interesting. I’m assuming that anyone who would take the time to do this amount of work would have some specific reasons for a number like that, and a way to get there as well. It’s been a sticking point for all the New World Order conspiracy folks, ruffles their feathers quiet nicely.
I believe that the illuminati are mostly human and because of that they have very human ideas and plans.
They’ve probably done some good things that nobody knows about.
They might even be secretly fighting off enemy aliens on earth for us right now.
Ever notice the impersonal nature of modern society along with the mass manufacturing of everything?
This modern society of ours is a center that breeds isolation, discomfort, and conflict.
The planet is definitely over-populated… you can feel it in the air - I am all for planetary population control, for if they cannot do it themselves then someone’s got to…
I was watching the news earlier today, where people with 5 kids were moaning that they would not be able to live on the benefit changes that the new government were planning… then why have 5 kids (and on benefits too) if you can’t afford to bring them up.
But this modern society was brought about by our own doing. To me the finger that you are pointing only points right back at us as a whole.
To me there is no us but instead there is only myself. ( I feel no affiliation with other human beings.) ( I feel no participation with other human beings.)
( No brotherhood and no community.)
( Humanity to me is just a word or a word that conveys a ideal. I could care less about humanity where likewise it cares even less for me.)
I had nothing to do with the becoming of the world where instead I’m just caught up in the mess as a random single individual.
Well if that’s the case it isn’t very accurate or fair to say that modern society is responsible for feeling that way. There are many people, myself included, that have been able to use this modern soceity to connect with more people in more ways than ever before, and are very happy in doing so.
Well hooray for you and those people…
