This is actually one of my all time favorite blog posts, and his concept of the tribe, the village, and the city, is a mental model I often come back to when thinking about the dysfunction in large communities.

the idea of the tribe/village/city is a model that he stole from the book "Blitzscaling" by Reed Hoffman, I guess?

Or did Hoffmann steal from Ferriss?

Ironically I've only ever heard of him because this blog post was previously on HN.
