    It has always been an economic zone, that’s what being a colony is.

    If we want meaning and culture we have to create our own.

      I think one of the greatest myths we are told in modern societies is that you have to do it all on your own and you have to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

      The truth is life can be terrible. No man is an island and humanity needs each other. I think the lack of care leads to an awful lot of problems and it starts in childhood.

        yes, humankind is naturally caring and co-operative

        one of the aspects that differentiates our society from others is we have safety nets for those who don’t have familial or social connections

        ( safety nets that have been eroded )

          Yes I was going to say the safety net is basically non existent these days. If you don’t have friends or family unless you can get out of hot water relatively quickly you are in real trouble.
