@hopehuggs That is an interesting thought. Having a group of like minded people. There are pros and cons to it though. The good positive clans will make for a better world, but imagine clans who are on the dark side of the world, them coming together can cause a lot of problems. We already know when a bunch of people come together for a common destructive cause, it ends in chaos -- just thinking about the idea you presented realistically.

May be what we as a society need to do first, is unbecome, I am no expert on social engineering, but as of now a lot of people know themselves only when they belong to something or someone, take that away, and they feel at a loss. We need individuals to become independent, to know themselves, before they become a part of any group. Else, it is just a group of people creating a false sense of identity for themselves, and depending on one another for that identity to be maintained. Humanity has been enslaved by one modality or another for a very long time. It has only changed shape, but the concept has remained the same.

I believe we need better education, the one that people start giving importance to towards the end of their lives -- focus on the essentials, and do away with, "if you don't get good ranks, you won't get a good job, you'll be a failure." "the other is your competition."

Woh! Imagine what kind of a world we're creating.

Right from start to end, it all is designed to feed the false self, the ego.

Now, before I end up turning this comment into a book, I will shut up! Cheers!
