You got it backwards. Society is simple the collective that forms transitively from you, your connections, theirs and so on. You are pointing at a tree and missing that it's standing in the forest. | ||

> Society is simple the collective that forms transitively from you, your connections, theirs and so on. Where do you draw the line? Does the collective that makes these collective decisions you are so fond of have to include, say, people in Russia? You can default to existing political structures and voting systems as a preliminary answer to get going. And they work for some things. But ain't nothing simple nor god given about that. | ||
