Tribe is a bit "charged" of a word and it is hard to define what that exactly a "tribe" is with its varied meanings. Also I am not sure if we are yet making tribes or are they collectives. Is the social fabric that was lost by our nomadic lives something we are recreating or are we only potentially creating such connections. Lots to think about. Chris,

I think "tribe" might be the right word. It's a strange word, though, charged with all kinds of weird feelings. Native American tribes and "the Tribe," in the Jewish context, as well as that weird website, Tribes. <br/><br/>But I think you're right. It's not that we're all friends (though we're friendly), but that we do have similar hm... edges? Similar rough social norms that align us at least a little? <br/><br/>Great post!

But I think you’re right. It’s not that we’re all friends (though we’re friendly), but that we do have similar hm… edges? Similar rough social norms that align us at least a little?

Great post! Now I’m digging in to think about it more.
