Three Types Of Didonian Societies

The Rebel Words, CHAPTER NINE.

(i) "'Certain cultures let entities form promiscuously.'" (p. 456)

Units learn less. Lives are shallow. No advance from savagery.

(ii) Each unit belongs to only one entity except for educational purposes.

Impoverished  lives in stone age societies.

(iii) Usually, each unit belongs equally to a few stable entities, assembling other temporary partnerships as necessary.

Each entity becomes a full personality, combining a broad background with specialized talents.

And that is all from me this evening. Good night. (Earlier, we had a Chinese New Year meal. Tomorrow evening, an Indian curry with former work colleagues.)

Kaor, Paul!

Yes, I can see why the third basic type of Didonian society gives its entities the optimum number of possibilities.
