I thought of something by accident the other day:<\/p>\n
In the thousands-of-years-ago days, people lived in tribes. There was a mutual benefit to live with your family, help raise the kids, hunt, gather, protect from animals and other tribes and so on.
\nBut you were born into a tribe and that was it unless you got married off into another tribe in trade for some land concession or water rights or something.<\/p>\n
But nowadays we live alone as individual families, Even the next generation up doesn’t live together with you.
\nSo in trade, we’ve invented the office. The office is a place where you go every day to fill the need of not living with a tribe anymore.
\nAnd here’s the beauty of it: You Get To Pick Your Tribe.<\/p>\n
If you don’t like this office tribe, you can quit and go join another one.<\/p>\n
So by default you blow off your family. You COULD choose to live with them, but nobody actually does that, so you create a tribe of friends and you create a tribe of coworkers whom you select based on them being tolerable.<\/p>\n
Ahhh what a great society we live in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
