If civilization doesn't work for most people(The Workers) why do we do more of the same thing year after year?

Question

Will tribalism( which benefits the group) ever be resumed in favour of civilization ( which only benefits the elite and the disappearing middleclasses)?

Answer 1

Since the shape shifting micro-nanochips have adapted to using water as thier source of power, we're finding that the tribalism is now effected most by the supply of water which is not finite like once believe for the foundation of tribalism.

The helioflex molicules of the water are said to be disturbed and broken by low frequency sound waves which actually attributes to the "spontanious human combustion" theories where high frequency sounds can put fire out ... low spiraling helioflex reach to the infinante small to tear water into 4 a four part compound partical (from 2 helium + oxygen) to ((PO43−)) or table salt.

As we move from tribalism into civilization we can see the compound changing and becoming more complex .... soon we'll have: C14H18N2O5 (aspartame) ... and well, it's all fake from here.

So, as you can see, I am rambling and will let you rest with the understaning that I'm still making my point with the backbone of the polysaccharide chain consists of two β-D-glucose units linked through the 1 and 4 positions. The side chain consists of two mannose and one glucuronic acid, so the chain consists of repeating modules of five sugar units. The side chain is linked to every other glucose of the backbone at the 3 position. About half of the terminal mannose units have a pyruvic acid group linked as a ketal to its 4 and 6 positions. The other mannose unit has an acetyl group at the 6 positions (Xanthan gum).

First off, I think you are all using the wrong word in "Tribalism". Maybe another word would be better but I'm really too high to focus on the micro-aspect of this reply. Aren't tribes what start a civilization? To the poster "Steev" I inquire: Do periods of tribalism and civilization wax and wane, or do they intrmingle? Preceed one another? To me what's happened Steev, is that the whole darned world has gotten lazy. But that's a whole nother story. The "civilization" poster "Walyank" describes has been around since the first civilized civilians gathered in China so many thousands of years ago. Sheakspeare wrote plays about this stuff. The rich will always get richer and vice-versa for the rest of us poor b*st*rds. I do say that in good taste. Great civilizations come and go, spreading thier ideals throughout the world, through hook or by crook( forcibly taking it or stealing it). In my opinion, my freinds, it's only a matter of time, be it short or long, until our civilization is under the shovel of some future archealogist.

Answer 3

I believe as long as people think that they have a shot to be on top of the food chain, it will never end.

I have cousins who think they will be rock stars and make millions,

A few think they can be big stars and some think life is a cake walk.

If people believe they have a shot to be rich or famous no matter what, than the system will stay in place. It is a lottery after all. Being in the right place and at the right time sort of stuff.

Rome defeated tribal society, but tribal society came back hundreds of years later and sacked it. Only time will tell my friend :)

Answer 4

"Civilization" as we know it is doomed to crash. We cannot keep on producing more and more useless and cheap gadgets to make some people rich when those rich people are trying to make the workers poorer and poorer all the time. The rich don't care because they won't be around when the crash comes.

They can can tell you all they want about this land of opportunity but it still is BS. More and more the opportunities belong to a club that is getting smaller everyday and to which they control the membership. Plus, if we were all rich, who would do the work? BS is all it is.

Tribalism will make a comeback by necessity when the system crashes. It may not be in our lifetime but it will happen unless we manage to kill the earth first. And I believe most rich people (most people actually) won't survive the crash very long because they just don't know how to do the very basics of survival.

Answer 5

Civilization can work for everyone, but the people/workers/proletariat have become apathetic and allowed more or less full control to fall into the hands of the elite. In the U.S., there are too many people who can name off all the American Idol winners, but couldn't name more than 3 or 4 of the current presidential candidates or what they stand for, or why there are so many candidates this election. Pathetically few people vote anymore, either. This works out just fine for the elite who are more than happy to accumulate unchecked power and control, chip away at your freedoms, send thousands of jobs overseas to save their corporate golfing buddies a few bucks, suppress minimum wage increases while giving themselves raises, raid trillions from Social Security, etc etc etc... Democracy only works and benefits "the group" when the people are informed and participate. People have forgotten the rights AND responsibilities of living in, and maintaining, a republic. Periods of tribalism and civilization wax and wane, as civilization tends to destroy itself from within, and tribes tend to consolidate power to oppose forces from without, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Answer 6

The reason why people are only workers is that they don't have the willpower or ambition to become an elite. I understand that it is much easier to become elite if you are simply born into it, but it is still possible for anyone else. Get a college degree in a technical or business arena and watch the cash fly in. Throughout history there has be instances of peasants being able to rise up the ranks to nobility through either badassness in wars or unscrupulous profiteering.

Answer 7

You want tribalism go and visit Africa. Tribalism is largely responsible for things like genocide, the spread of AIDS, ignorance, and poverty. Most Americans live in relatively comfortable surroundings, are free to come and go as they please, have cheap and readily available food, and plenty of job and career opportunities. Now I realize there are flaws in the system, but in general we live more comfortable and leisurely lives then generations before us and many other countries.

Answer 8

I very highly doubt it. We have enough trouble moving from oil to something more effecient. I can't imagine completely changing our society structure. Although it might just be for the best.
