Whether we identify ourselves in narrow family and friend terms or wider community and society terms, humans are still human, with as many goals as there are individuals. There will always be endeavors and individuals that others want to become associated with.

Our current system filters potential endeavors largely by profit, and traps wage earners into contributing for income, not for the satisfaction of contributing to the endeavor.

A communal system would allow contribution flexibility allowing individuals to contribute where they saw fit, so all endeavors would tend to be filtered by exactly that. If one person wanted to accomplish something big, but few found it worthy, it goes nowhere.

Society would tend to freely mold itself in its own form, so to speak.

Is that what you’re afraid of? That we would find out who we truly are? I’m not. I look forward to that (possibly mythical) day.

No one, individual or society, can move on until they’ve truly come to terms with who they are. To do otherwise is to be like the advancing general who leaves an enemy stronghold in his rear. It will constantly harass him, thwarting him from achieving his goals.

Just saying! Take care!
