Even Bitcoiners have differing faiths!
I think this human trait is natural,
I mean I’m inclined to believe that.
We (modern humans) have spent a significant part of our evolutionary journey residing in small, interconnected groups of hunter-gatherers, and later, following the advent of agriculture, in only slightly larger communal settings.
Even today, humans tend to feel at ease being part of a relatively small group. We might be working for a large, “impersonal” corporation, but it’s likely that we think in terms of “our” office, our team, or similar contexts. Alternatively, we could be part of a bowling league or a member of a fraternal organization or something akin to that.
These all serve as representations of ‘tribes. ” Anthropologists have described nation-states as “super-tribes”…. .
a super tribe is a good way of putting it
