YouTube finally got a recommendation on point. Great Episode….
Christopher Ryan is a very smart dude.
It has been long understood and demonstrated in anthropology that in societies where young adult males have more free access to sex, that society is less violent. The more sexually repressed a society is, the more violent and dysfunctional the society is.
The annual fire season we have in Australia is a bit more intense than California but overall they're kind of on par. We trade fire teams in each others fire season.
In terms of area, our countries are of similar size, but Australia is more sparsely populated. The terrain here is difficult, the fires are often remote. And yet, despite that, in Australia we do exactly what Duncan is proposing. When big fires happen, people travel to the fire from all over to country to put it out. We volunteer to rebuild the homes lost. We take care of each other. But unlike what Duncan is saying, we do all that WITH the aid of the government.
See the problem isn't that government structure exists, people need structure and they need regulation. Filling in forms has a purpose even if it is clunky. The problem in the USA, and some other countries, is you've lost your unity. You've lost your sense of nationalism, of community, of good will to one another. Everyone has become selfish
If as Duncan suggested you just got a series of small groups that looked after each other we have a word for that. Tribes. The greatest achievement of the enlightenment was casting off tribalism, because it ONLY leads to dysfunction, to bickering over access to resources, to war. You're seeing the results of that tribalism play out in the streets with all the fighting and rioting, it can only get worse if unity isn't sought.
The point of federalism/nationalism, is to extend the tribe to include the entire country. That's what government is for, to organise the logistics of a tribe that large.
The people are the problem, the culture. You gotta work on it because it's killing your country right now.
