The tribal support network is really something. No child left behind! We all live - or die - together.
Tribal support is really about our fundamental needs of food, shelter, and touch.
You see, by working together for a common goal, these two gents are saving energy on the individual level through mutual support.
Sure, they could do each task alone, and yet that's not the tribal way. We love to be close on many different levels, beginning with physical proximity.
When you're close enough to smell the other person, that's where the tribe wants to be. The tribe wants to smell you and wants to know that you smell like itself, that you fit in, that you can participate with the mutual support.
This is very different from individual circuitry definition! The individual can be really spooked by the tribe, you know?
The tribe wants everything to be a certain way, we eat the same, poop the same, wear the same, on and on.
Then the individual comes along with their mutative capacity and brings change! The tribe knows this is essential for them, they cannot only breed within the tribe for that would not be genetically viable.
So the tribe lets the stranger in, for the benefit of the whole gene pool, the stability of the tribe. And yet that same stability may be challenged by the individual arriving - who knows what qualities they are bringing!
Maybe the individual brings a new way of doing something that other people within the tribe find they enjoy, now the entire status quo is threatened.
Utterly terrifying to the not self tribal person. Terrified that if anything changes, it could all be doomed and the old ways lost.
Yet I say, without the capacity to mutate into the future through individual knowing and insight... Not only is the culture doomed, the species itself is destined to fail.
