Great post, thanks.Basically modern people don’t have boundaries, they don’t have tribes, they’re unstable social environment, extreme isolation and finacialised relationships, dependence on strangers (corporations) for everything have created an existential trauma and their identity cannot form properly, the psychological structure of their h7man psyche is in turmoil. This is what oligarchies produce. Now its a scale and some people can function, some cannot and many need stimulants i.e. drugs, consumeristic content etc. to stabilise their identity.
I slightly disagree with the idea that "modern people don’t have boundaries, they don’t have tribes". No tribes would be fine, imo.. but what people actually have is 'crap tribes', lol. Examples of crap tribes are things like democrats/conservatives supporters, statists, sportsball fans, profession tribes (eg doctors, police) - any collectivising idea. These collectives are then managed and directed to create benefit for someone, imo.
The original, archetypal tribe seems like it would be more faithful to the reality we experience (as opposed to the current crap tribes that are co-opted to manipulate).. but even those 'rainforest tribes' would be a constraint to the free-thinking individual. As far as I can tell, individuation may be the best target in trying to align oneself with truth.
