New Tribalism

Do you believe in evolution? Do you believe there is objective proof that evolution is real and can be studied? Do you believe humans are simply just another dynamic pattern encoded in cellular DNA, being expressed by a framework made of trillions of tiny microbes and a brain which is configured in such a way to enable consciousness and awareness of this fact? If you really, truly 100% can answer these questions with the affirmative, then boy howdy, I've quite a thing to share I'll tell you what.

We, as a species, are just one other form of life on this planet. We evolved through the regular means, meaning random mutation piled on random mutation and subsequently evolved behavioral patterns that engendered our further survival. In our particular instance, our species gravitated toward building a huge brain in lieu of any real physical adaptations to our environment. Because of this, and because of the fact that humans are omnivorous, it meant we could survive nearly everywhere, and there is evidence of this all over the globe. The important part of this is the first bit, however. Most animals evolve to become specialized in some way to exploit an ecological niche. Our niche ended up being the incredibly social creature that uses cooperation, coordination, and communication to effectively do whatever it damn well chooses. Our gifts of language and unsurpassed ability to conceptualize and build real things became the key to unlocking what we've got now. Our great utopian human society.

But, there are problems. For one, we make utopian laws and rules but ourselves are not a utopian species. We came up with a set of "perfect" behaviors that one is told to strive to achieve to their fullest during their lifetime. But, where did these "virtues" come from? From whence were these "morals" created? Daniel Quinn raises a very interesting theory which is backed by huge amounts of archaeological evidence. He posits that morals and their ilk were actually first created as a control mechanism by a tribal entity wanting to conquer and subdue its neighbors.

You see, back before "civilization" existed, humans roamed the globe as nomads. They lived day to day, in small groups or tribes, between 50-100 individuals. Some groups hunted, some groups foraged, and some even practiced small-scale agriculture. These groups had no leaders. Each individual was free to offer their skills as needed and the group agreed on the level of effort that should be put in to survival each day. Because food was abundant, and humans were really smart, it was relatively easy to survive. Our ancestors generally stayed near the forest, which allowed them to gather the most choice food items to survive including fruits, simple carbs, and meat. This was humanity in a nutshell for about a hundred thousand years. During this time period individuals grouped together with other individuals and began migrating away from Africa.

Anti choice and anti contraception folks are attempting to perpetuate the delay in Mother Culture's promises of population control.

How does one convince religious people to give up the Taker way of life if they are so opposed to something as innocuous and beneficial to the environment as birth control?

Read Ishmael once a month. Make notations. This is literally the change I want to see, so I should become it.

How to convince people that the Leaver life is worth aspiring to? Convice them they will be the stewards of evolution. That other species seem to be heading towards intelligence and self awareness. Convince them others are not the enemy. Convice them that limited competition will cure nearly every issue that ails the world at large. This is the true goal of dismantling the Taker society. We could someday have live among others as enlightened as our possible future selves.

Is Pokémon inspired by Ishmael

How should it be decided which populations should be limited in their reproduction when the human population has a nigh unlimited capacity to produce food and shelter... Until resources are exhausted. How can one join a people who were so abundant for millions of years ago that are practically extinct? Is it possible to capture their tinkerings before they draw their last breaths? Can an aboriginal lifestyle be practiced at this point? Is the world too far destroyed? Would anyone be willing to leave Mother Culture's siren song behind to retake their place in the biological community? As just an animal, not separate, but equal. Death is not desired but is also expected. No creature lives forever, and man is no exception. Man should not expect to overcome death, but accept it as a natural part of his place in the community. How does one take up the monumental task of transcribing Leaver culture to something Takers can understand? Will Takers ever be able to accept death and injury? Will they ever limit their populations? Can they any longer see humankind as anything but exceptional?

BARF

Peace on earth is really just another way of saying "reintegration of mankind into the natural order, into the biological community."

How was fishing curbed so well in New England? If only there was a way to enact this on a massive scale.

I want to be so anachronistic that I seem futuristic.

I fucking swear someone just got me in the face with a green laser pointer.

With the internet have humans invented something that they are not evolved to handle? Communication is important but it is unnatural to have such LARGE amount of connection between populations.

300k-260k years ago: Modern humans evolved
Since humans evolved, the instincts and behaviors

What does evolution mean to you? What do you understand about it?

Humans have domesticated themselves, however no wild animal can ever fully be domesticated. Realising this makes it a lot easier to explain contradictory behaviors

Evolution is a change that is expressed by a population over a significant amount of generations of offspring. The mechanism of evolution occurs during the coupling of chromosomes during insemination in somewhat random ways. This coupling will determine when/if/how certain traits present in your DNA will be expressed.

We are not vessels for profit. Our lives are our own.

The most offended will always be the least intelligent because instead of taking the time to independently confirm their outrage or attempt to see an issue from a different perspective they will default to using their own world view as a moral compass. Context. Always. Matters.

Countries made up of millions of individuals can't adequately care for the population. Nuance is necessary in all facets of human life. Sometimes murder is justified. Sometimes mercy isn't.

Murderers aren't new. Rapists aren't new. Pedophiles aren't new. People with these types of predilections have been appearing in the gene pool since we left the trees. The difference between then (200k years ago) and now is a begrudging acceptance and tolerance of these sorts of people when before they would have been caught and been executed, shamed, attacked, or exiled. This would have the effect of removing the likelihood of those characteristics being expressed by a descendant down the line. These sorts of people will never stop existing, however. Their ways and strategies of reproduction are viable and in fact supported by a capitalist system. Capitalism enables pedos, rapists, and murderers because those people are able to buy protection from others who don't hold as much power as they do.

A direct criticism that could be made against our current understanding of human behavior is these behaviors are being studied in unnatural environments. The individuals involved lead unnatural lives within the confines of high density artificially constructed dwellings, their instinctual behaviors rising to the surface in unexpected ways. Anxiety, for example, could be a manifestation of a conspecific instinct to stick with the tribal family and severing that bond once a child is a certain age, artificially determined

The reason I feel what I have to say is important is because if I can help someone truly understand the implications of it, it will empower them in ways totally unforseen. The more people we can enlighten with this perspective, the better off our species as a whole will be as it will shift focus away from obsessive consumerism and back to focusing on quality of life for all. We are not a hoarding creature, and our lives don't actually revolve around how much shit we've amassed. That's all meaningless.

Live your life left to right or right to left, not bottom to top. Who cares if you can fill a room?

Culture used to be an extension of the tribe's way of life, a set of principals and rules that everyone adhered to that could be used to level-set expectations from other people in the tribe

Now, culture is the dominant force and humans are forced to squeeze into the culture of whatever nation-state they reside in, regardless if said culture represents them in any form. If they do not conform to the norms forced upon them, they are of course ostracized and cast aside as undesirable to society

This fundamental difference can be used to great effect to explain why the way humans live now causes so many problems for so many people that don't toe the line of politeness well enough.

What does egalitarian mean to you?

Inevitably humans are going to do something that others around them find distasteful. Each group can choose to handle each situation their own way. Here are some questions to consider.

In your ideal egalitarian society, what would the punishment for murder be?
What would the punishment for theft be?
What would the punishment for adultery be?
What would the punishment for rape be?

Who should do what?
When should they do it?
Does each person have a specialty?

Suppose you and 100 or so of your most favorite and capable friends and family members realized the wars, famine, deaths, and destruction being wrought upon the world were being caused because of the overwhelming influence of one culture on all others and decided they wouldn't support it any longer. Suppose that at least one of you owns a parcel of land around 5 square miles in a relatively wooded area somewhere in Pennsylvania. Wooded enough that the forest could potentially provide enough sustenance for all 100 of you, provided you ALL manage it carefully.

Your first task would be to start thinking critically about survival. Where is the food? Where is the water? Where is the shelter? Your group would scour the land and begin looking for those prime locations together. You'd start working out a plan to follow for when the weather gets colder. You may consider building temporary shelters or go with a more permanent solution in and around your property. At this point, you would start considering the future. Start considering the upcoming seasonal changes. You would observe your surroundings and make notes of what you saw. Keep in mind you're not abandoning all of the great technology that came about due to the Great Forgetting so you may literally be using a pencil and paper to make these notes. Perhaps one of your group is a fantastic artist so they can use their skills to draw or paint the item in question. At this point, art could become a cornerstone in your culture because it has survival use and value to the group. Your group begins observing your surroundings very closely but meticulously, turning over every rock, branch, and leaf to find out what lives within your culture's territory and what can be used for what purpose. This may take many seasons to fully discover, especially if the territory lies within the nesting grounds of 17 year cicadas or something similar. Your group will need to discover the usages and purpose for every plant and animal in your territory in order to make the most of your new life.

The Sentinelese have lived on an island no larger than 25 square miles for over 1000 years. They are some of the fittest and healthiest looking humans on the planet. They are only 80-100 strong but appear to have a quality of life far above many in the Taker cultures.

Humans must have an egalitarian instinct because we always notice when unfair things happen to us or to people around us. Mother Culture subverts this instinct by supporting gaslighting and other behaviors which mask the source of the problems.

Taker culture is so insidiously good at eradicating our memories of what came before that we had nearly lost it. Thanks be to those anthropologists, archeologists, and paleontologists that unearthed our past and helped us rediscover our original nature.

Present people with a choice. Either they can continue to work meaningless jobs with people they don't like until they die OR they join a community where they have absolute security that the community will share all burdens introduced.

As a student of science it obligates me to take these suggestions and this history seriously.

Murder is something that could be excused by some cultures depending entirely on situation. However, since science posits that monotheistic salvation-offering religions are simply a survival mechanism required for evolutionarily unstable groups of humans to

We have to start weaning ourselves off this shitshow of a centralized power situation. Start collecting water in rain barrels. Start raising chickens. Start gardening. Learn what's locally available to eat and start cultivating that. The more self-sufficient we become, the less damage we will cause. As we decentralize the power and specialize to our own areas, our population will naturally decrease to a more sustainable level for the earth WITHOUT causing suffering due to starving. It's an effort, but it should be. The effort is what makes anything worth it. What the fuck is the point of a life where you go to a job you hate for 160 hours out of a month until you are permitted to retire at which point you start to become senile. Why? Why not just ignore all the bullshit and cultivate a small group who can take care of themselves? I understand Juggalo culture so much better now. It really is all about being part of that group. They all have each other's backs and once someone fucks up they're out forever.

Idea: Root Android firmware to hijack the NFC functionality and turn it into short wave radio to allow having a functional cell phone for your group without the need to be tethered into a major mobile network. Invest in portable solar panels. Invest in anything intended to break up the military industrial complex. We cannot be free from it until we break our dependence on it. We are strong, capable, dignified beings. We don't need to be told how to live our lives

Friends, there is some great news I'd like to share with you. I think I'm onto one of the better ways to "save the world." But first, some backstory.

tl;dr: Biology-loving software dev nerd does a lot of reading and research to absolutely, utterly, and undeniably conclude that impossibly huge, connected, and centralized human societies are evolutionary unstable and will inevitably fail and that supporting any sort of centralized government is a fool's errand that can never "fix" the world so the key to fixing the world is to form very small, decentralized groups.

As are most 20 somethings in this country who are recent college graduates, I too was smitten with the allure of material goods and career advancement. At first it was great. I got my first paycheck, realized with the kind of money I could make I'd never want for anything again, and promptly made the most of it. I was riding high on material success for the first time in my life and beginning to acquire a taste for the good things. In short order I had fashioned a life for myself that was simple, comfortable, and sustainable. I enjoyed the equilibrium that it afforded me and although I had no great luxury (nor much of a desire for one) I also had no great responsibility to anyone other than myself. Things went well, and eventually I acclimated to this new lifestyle. Gradually, however, the discontent had begun to manifest itself.

I had bought myself a large television for Christmas in 2007 after learning that my brother and sister had become addicted to opioids, thinking that it would console my wounded trust and pained thoughts. It was shortly after that I distinctly remember wanting to throw the TV out the window. I had no clear rationale why, but I felt like chucking it out was the best way to express my grief with the situation. That was the first time as an adult with THINGS that I felt truly dissatisfied. I didn't give a shit that I had just bought it. I didn't give a shit that my roommates and I clearly enjoyed it. I just wanted it out. I never acted on the impulse but it's telling to me that I had already started to understand that just having things wasn't enough. There was still an emptiness that I was unable to comprehend and I knew it must have something to do with needing more than just stuff.

As the years went on the empty feeling remained. I started paying a lot more attention to the world at large to see if I could begin to make some sense of what I was seeing. I couldn't. It seemed no matter the policy enacted, there was always at least one group being marginalized. For the longest time I subscribed to a very liberal viewpoint. I felt that those who didn't agree with my views were wrong, and I was in the right because my views afforded the most rights and support to those most in need. Or at least who I considered the most in need. My thoughts weren't wrong, but I also was not taking into account that there is no reason to assume that what I think is right IS ACTUALLY RIGHT. There is literally no reason I should be telling others how to live. Their way of life is just as valid to them as mine is to me.

As a child I was just as passionate zoology as I was video games. Every time I got the chance I checked out books about animals and natural systems from the school library. I would ravenously devour the information and unconsciously commit it to memory. The reason this fact is important and relevant is because my love of zoology informed me of biology which has itself became a flaming passion of mine. I cannot stress enough how fascinated I am by natural systems and how deep down the evolution rabbit hole I've dove. I've researched the classical theory of evolution that applies to macro scale organisms. I've learned how whole ecologies work just by actively watching David Attenborough documentaries, considering the species populations, evolutionary pressures on predator and prey population, and environmental fluctuations in precipitation and temperature.

Knowing this as you now do, I think you realize my absolute faith in the scientific method and the knowledge acquired in applying it to many areas of study over many decades. Archeologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists have been building a record of ecosystems and human habitation for centuries and their findings prove that early homo sapiens, potentially as far back as 100,000 ago, banded together in small groups, relied utterly on each other for support, and in turn cultiaved a way of life that many in the group would be willing to die for. Materially, most of these groups weren't rich, but the support each person gave to each other through their entire lifetime was something that to this very day is intangible and inimitable.

Importantly, the size of these early groups was determined to be around 100-200 people. Funny enough in my search for comedy gold and knowledge at some point I stumbled upon a Cracked article that really jump started this quest for a meaningful life. I learned about something called the Monkeysphere, which is what the brilliant David Wong invented in order to more easily describe a biological limitation that was most likely the cause of this group size. When humans are in a group of this size, the theory posits, they know each other. Intimately. That does not mean they like each other or are even friends, but it does mean that regardless of anything else, they will be helping to share any burdens of the others in the group.

Eventually a friend of mine recommended I read a booked called Ishmael. I dragged my feet. I procrastinated. I forgot about it then remembered one day. I bought it and read it. It floored me. It blew my fucking mind up. I'd been feeling like I hadn't had an epiphany in decades but for damned sure this was the very definition. It caused me to completely question the very framework of the system I'm part of and have been indoctrinated to. It was one of the most pivotal events of my adult life so far. It explains a huge amount of these aforementioned concepts in very simple and logical ways and organizes them into an incredible story. It then extrapolates these in a way that can be utilized to open a window to cultures of humans past. The science to support the reasoning found in the book is sound and because of this it makes the argument incredibly persuasive.

This book awakened an anger and passion in me that I have not yet been able to quell. I rage internally constantly due to the illogical and farcical nature of our fucktarded culture. A culture that believes that centralizing and locking away the food to force people to work for it is acceptable. It's the definition of disgusting once the inner workings are exposed.

I stewed and raged and brooded over this book. How could humanity be so blind to such a simple concept? Then, I read The Story of B, a book in the Ishmael trilogy that is more focused on the area of ethical human population control to help mitigate the damage to the environment caused by our exponential population growth.

I let myself mull over what I'd learned in those past two novels and started the final book of the trilogy, My Ishmael. This book does an absolutely masterful job of expounding upon the themes introduced in the first book and using the knowledge introduced to explain our culture as it currently is, why it's the way it is, and most importantly, an affirmation that it can be changed or discarded simply by massively disbelieving in it because we all are in charge of the destiny of our species. This book also introduced me to wracking sobs that I hadn't experienced since my brother's funeral in part because it exposed to me how utterly tragic and pointless his death really was and clearly exposes how utterly tragic and pointless nearly every death that ever occurred as part of a war or famine was.

I can't sleep because, due to my aforementioned readings of, and ESPECIALLY My Ishmael, my brain has been freed almost utterly of the usual untrue, contrived, and completely pointless restrictions in ways of thinking that are constantly enforced by this horrid and undignified culture of ours. Mother Theresa lost faith in God because she saw the suffering of thousands of children and didn't know that if she had just been able to look back 100,000 years in human history she may realize it was due to the machinations of men that it ended up like this.

If you feel undignified doing your job and you want out, fucking band up with a posse of people you'd die for and leave. Convince the others in your position to do the same. The more people that defect from the vision forced upon us from birth to their own new vision, the less power it holds over us.

The tenants of human life explored by Dan Quinn in the Ishmael books have utterly permeated my way of thought. I would rather die that return to the dulled, grey mode of thinking the Taker culture perpetuates. I have never THOUGHT so vibrantly, so without boundaries, ever before in my life. The unshackling of my humanity, my soul, that has occurred due to reading his marvelous series cannot be overstated. I have wept with joy over it and still do. He simply makes sense out of the world NOT making sense. He explains in such an eloquent manner why the world is broken and more importantly HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. These book has restored my faith in humanity. It's exposed that 99% of us are so indoctrinated absolutely by the Taker way of thinking that we think nothing of hearing that millions are killed in wars that are absolutely in the self interest of one leader and their cadre. It's given a conduit for the feelings I've been having my entire life. I don't like this way of life. It's abusive, wasteful, harmful, and ultimately atrocious. A centralized power structure cannot work. We simply do not possess the biological hardware needed to feel the appropriate level of empathy for each citizen in the population, the empathy each citizen, as a dignified human, has a birthright to. The populations are simply too large. We need to break ourselves out of this dependence on a central power and abandon this way of life for the good of our planet and ourselves. My Ishmael is a genius work because Dan Quinn outlines some thoughts he had which can easily be extrapolated upon. He never suggests we throw away our gadgets and go back to living like past tribal humans and in fact recommends we use our innovation to make our gadgets work for humans rather than centralized powers such as corporations or governments. Our gadgets should be used to help our new tribes be self sufficient and move us away from the dependency on a centralized power structure and supply chain.

I've been ruminating over a lot of things over the past months. I've got this roiling soup of ideas that I've been struggling to string together into coherent thoughts and I believe this weekend was the catalyst.

Murderers are not made in a vacuum. Shootings like those that happened on August 3rd and 4th are caused by a systematic failure of the system. A failure predicated and predicted by the lack of accountability that is engendered by our society by its partitioning of responsibilities to outside groups. Our "civilization" is simply comprised of a redistribution of responsibilities that should have always remained localized.

Dear friends, at the birth of the new decade we also appear to be on the eve of a brand new war. I would like for you to consider the following before deciding whether or not this war, one of many, which will be protracted virtually forever, benefiting nobody but the already obscenely rich, should be supported. Should we yet again support drone strikes in foreign countries that leave huge swathes of the general population of brown people refugees?

Please consider the following statement: Humans are animals, however, humans are not insects. It seems basic, but the implications of this sentence, when viewed from the right perspective, are staggering.

First, let's assert humans are animals. Our genetic lineage has been traced back to a common ancestor between us and our ape cousins, and if we consider apes animals, we must consider ourselves animals as well. It's not as if the term is derogatory. It's perfectly neutral, and simply describes something as animated or alive, which members of our species are. Evolution has been observed within human lifetimes due to human environmental impact (see pepper moths in Great Britain) and the theory is backed up by hundreds of thousands of collective hours of experimentation with DNA.

Second, we must assert that humans are not insects. On a surface level, it's very easy to confirm this. We have internal skeletons, teeth, and non-segmented bodies, just to name a few differences. The thought process of insects is totally different than that of humans, a fact which isn't often considered. Many species of ants, wasps, and bees are eusocial. These species are an ideal example as they can be seen as analogous most cultures today. They have a queen (likened to a president, prime minister, king, etc.) and citizens have set jobs from birth (though these jobs may change if the colony loses too many of one type). All members of the colony follow the will of the queen, and she guides them utilizing pheromone cues. The insects follow her will for the good of the colony, and there are thousands of individuals working tirelessly, in unison, from birth until death to achieve that goal. That is their purpose in life and they will fulfill it to the best of their ability.

Other than being animals, humans have very little in common with eusocial insects. We are distinct individuals, with specific preferences, needs, and desires. Through the hundreds of millennia that lead to our modern-day morphology, our species developed survival instincts based on individual reciprocation of gratification. Once our ancestors left the safety of the trees, they needed the protection of the group to survive. It is theorized this is when the incredible communication skills really started evolving as a response to the challenges faced by our ancestors. Speech, one of the defining traits of our species, allowed our groups to become larger and more coordinated than ever before. It also allowed for more depth in interpersonal relationships as we learned to communicate our thoughts to other individuals. It’s likely the gratification instinct evolved alongside our speaking ability as it would allow for the positive feedback loop of (you expressing desire -> having desire met by other individual -> other individual expressing desire -> you meet their desires: Verify this with cross reference to Kurdzkestatd). All humans are born with the natural instincts to quickly acquire the skills necessary to incorporate this feedback loop into their daily lives. Children will share with each other because it is their natural instinct. They will see others of the same age as equals based on appearance (though not on ability, which will assuredly be ranked!) and in general treat each other in an egalitarian way. This “childlike” state is the natural human state. The state in which we see each other as equals and practice reciprocal gratification. As we get older, our thoughts get more complex and our desires change but this feedback loop remains relevant until our dying days. In small groups of humans this works very well. Small groups of tight knit members, who know each other intimately were pioneered by our ancestors (specifics). According to research done by primate specialist Robin Dunbar, our brains can theoretically only handle 150 of these strong, tight knit connections due to the amount of effort it takes to reinforce the bond via reciprocating desires, as well as the physical limitations of the neocortex. This article, though comical, has never once left the back of my mind since reading it and sums up the research and its consequences in layman’s terms: https://www.cracked.com/article_14990_what-monkeysphere.html

The reason this is relevant is because those tight knit connections are what make us give a single damn about each other. It’s also exactly why society doesn’t work. If you don’t have a personal connection with someone, if you’ve never reciprocated a desire with them, why should you care? If you know nothing about them, why should you feel anything upon learning they were injured or died? Why should anyone working in the government care if another war gets concocted? What do they have to lose? The discussion needs to be reframed. We all need to be asking what we get out of the deal because, friends, we’ve been getting swindled for a very long time indeed. Fuck JFK, we all need to be asking our government what we’re getting out of the deal. If the answer to that question is “not enough,” we need to start looking for alternatives. We need to start decentralizing our populations and looking into methods of doing that which are sustainable. We need to break ourselves back into small groups and start living for each other again. It will involve taking back a certain amount of responsibility and giving up material comforts. It’s not sexy, it’s not simple, and it’s not easy, but the benefits would be incredible. Living only with the people you wanted to live with, people whose company you genuinely enjoy. People with whom you can talk to about anything without fear of negative repercussions. Working with those people to feed each other, for the good of the group. Most importantly, not being worried what will happen when you die, as you’ve earned your spot and since you’ve not left, you will get the care you deserve.

Here's what went wrong.

We're a species that evolved from apes.

We are animals just like them.

We have instincts and drives that helped our ancestors survive, thrive, and eventually settle nearly everywhere, the same as every other animal who has lived and will live.

Individuals have almost unanimously been taught to either ignore or suppress these urges in order to create the supposed "unity" offered by a large, centralized culture, however, we are subject to the same biological pressures as any other individual who is a member of any other species. We experience both intra-species competition (which is negligible among "developed countries") and inter-species competition.

The extreme inter-species competition that the majority of us face on a daily basis leads to frequent heated confrontations between individuals. We are constantly in contention for food, shelter, employment, and attention. There are so many of us now that we cannot possibly give each individual the care, compassion, and empathy they deserve so large percentages of the population "fall through the cracks" and end up as repeat offenders in a justice system designed to profit from their misery. These individuals never had a choice. They need one now. We all need one now.

We're lost as a species. We've arbitrarily decided we don't need to follow our instincts and drives even though those instincts and drives allowed our ancestors to bring us to this point. Not only that, but often these natural feelings, thoughts, and actions have been demonized by the ideology holding most sway in the region. There needs to be a refuge where that ideology holds no sway. A place that is left wild and ungoverned by the laws of man. A place with the resources for the resourceful to survive and even thrive.

Capitalism is being revealed for the elaborate Ponzi scheme it always was. The most ruthless, cunning, and vile are rewarded to the detriment of the general population. They carelessly pollute, destroy, and knowingly cause suffering. They incite violence, turn populations against each other, and destroy ecosystems in the name of "progress" and "freedom"

Because of this we've gotten more isolated and less connected than ever before. We don't even need to leave our homes to socialize because our technology allows us to do that remotely.
