Interesting Haim (good post IMO BTW).. Another poster when discussing Covid numbers in places like Kenya etc mentioned to me that these villages in essence had a sense of community and typically an old style headman .. not really a chief per se.. more an elder, an arbitrator if you will.. IOW were involved far more positively in each other's lives on a very local scale.. I have often decried our quest for stuff and disposable economy lifestyle...even recycling does not dampen the mentality... the desire for moderate inflation and new immigrants (not the same as the admirable act of taking in refugees) foments the ponzi scheme that western consumer societies especially in NA .. US and Canada specifically are interchangeable in this... it is also a symptom.. hence a feedback loop out of control...... I am not a fan of large cities .. I think folks need to spread out more.. technology is allowing that.. not calling for the death of cities by any means... but today's cities especially promote a situation of many solitary and insular individual units where a sense of community needs be created artificially and usually response is not great as opposed to the situation you noted in your post... a natural function of daily life...
