Con Tribes

Humans evolved in tribes.  For millions of years we fought, lived played, and mated in these groups.  As tools and technology advanced, these tribes became larger, more powerful, and more dominant.  Specialization, which had existed in nearly all successful tribes to some degree, expanded.  With it came a need to track the different work that was being done.  People had to work for what they received.  They had to barter.  Food for art, gold for leaders, deer for the arrows to kill the next one.  In this way the tribe stayed productive yet efficient, and their power grew.  They grew into empires, nations, and alliances.  They grew so large that their closeness and identity began to wane, and smaller sub groups gained traction.  Companies, schools, sports teams, gangs, anything with an identity. Yet the nations maintained enough power that they could wage wars and build rockets and invade others, in the name of their greatness and image.  Thus the subjugation, death, wars, loss and waste of the world is from the energy, the incalculable, inconceivable waste that humans have put into making their tribe rise against the others.
