why not recuse oneself to smaller collectives? because of the challenge of a society so complex we can never see it all? but can we ever really see it all? because it's not about control, at least on an intellectual level. and that's what a smaller community provides (esp. good economical, agriculturally, imholollurtung). it's about associating with everyone, putting your ideas out there for the whole world.
so educationally, smaller communities might be better b/c more members can be part of the teaching act. idk tho. i mean, i believe in that. maybe i'm just fighting for the status quo b/c it's easier. kids should be raised aught communally and the internet allows sharing with the world.
i guess the question is if the communal structure allows for social stagnation and, consequently, intellectual stagnation. you stay in your commune (b/c really that's what i'm talking about) and you focus on living well together, educating the kids, but does it take away from the goal of contributing to the global community. can we reflect on the world if we focus so intently on only our small part?
