From Tribes to Superpowers: The Evolution of Human Societies Toward Global Dominance

[Letsgoviking]

I really like these "view from 30,000 feet" analyses. Thank you.

In your description, I'm struck by the contrasts of distance: an ever-closing distance required for affect, and an ever-widening distance of subsequent effect, as sociological, economic, and technological system have matured.

I had not thought about distance as a metric of social cohesion/dishesion. That's a great insight! I will need to ponder this more and perhaps consider that in my analysis. Thank you! Just the kind of feedback I was looking for!
