    An extremely astute and appreciated recommendation. Indeed, I've been meaning to delve into that for a while. I think it would speak a lot on the issue of closed societies that are nonetheless very abstract (in the Popperian sense of the term, meaning those societies where freedom of thought and discourse are not allowed, and where the laws are against the principles that allow men and woman to live as they please, with only civic or economic engagement with the rest of their peers). Within this category I would include the 20th century authoritarian states of the fascists and communists, as well as maybe some 19th century European polities.

    I deliberately avoided speaking on these cases in the DM's I sent the both of you. For one thing, it's long enough as-is and a full discussion of the problem would quite literally be novel-length. For another, I believe that the horror and objective inhumanity of modern rational societies where not even the pretext of liberty or open thought is given its due -- such as the totalitarian societies of North Korea, Turkmenistan, the PRC, and increasingly even places like the Russian Federation -- is plain and obvious for all us Westerners and children of the internet to perceive and thus should not merit much immediate discussion.

    You mentioned at the begining that you feel like youre covering a lot of topics at once (eco, psych, anthro). It might be beneficial to go back and chop it up into the different categories to get a clearer picture of what youre going for. Unless youre trying for a single wholistic metaphysic ofc
