I don't think you have a tribe; I consider you way too smart to have a tribe. If you were inclined to have one, then you'd be one of the leaders of it.
oh, almost forgot to address this. Nice thing to say, thanks.

hmmm. I think you have been deceived.

I don't necessarily want to have a tribe, but I think I would like to start my own cult. I think Koresh had the right idea.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

The Bagwan really had it going at Rashneesh Puram. I think he had 93 Rolls Royce's? https://www.oregonlive.com/rajneesh/1985/07/rajneesh_followers_amass_fleet.html

Nah, even bringing up the concept of, "Anti-racism," and looking into it indicates a certain open-mindedness that also leads me to believe what I said. You're welcome.

The modern human species has been on the earth for 200,000 years. Civilization is only 5000 years old. We became who we are in an environment of intense competition between groups of humans. As a result we are, by nature, team players and we are instinctively leery of the other teams. Tribalism a deep seated part of what it is to be human and intelligent people are not exempt. If you don't see it in yourself, I'd say you aren't taking an honest look.

There's a difference between inevitability whilst eschewing it to the greatest possible degree and willingly embracing it.

Eventually, we'll outgrow former biological imperatives that are no longer necessary for survival, or we'll become extinct first. I won't be here for either of those two events, so I'm not concerned with which one it is. It doesn't make currently operating under such defunct parameters any less stupid...you just try to notice it in yourself and work harder to avoid it.

It's funny that you think racism it's really a problem in the USA. It's not, compared to the rest of the world. You have entire racist countries, like Japan. In China. And Korea. Any country you could name in Asia is racist. Go to any place in Europe and racism is rampant against Jews, Muslims, blacks, and many others. Believe it or not the leading countries in Europe for racism are Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Poland. The most racist country in Europe by far is Italy. Racism in the US is a joke compared to the rest of the world.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I’m fascinated by the Babylon Bee.

Clearly trying to be the right-wing version of The Onion. Only problem is The Onion is actually funny.
