David:or thousands of miles away, and materts of inclusion that involve people (even animals and ecosystems) that his or her ancestors would have simply considered prey.You miss the obvious. Sensible members of any tribe have always looked after their prey - it isn't unlimited and is a resource. It is concern for animals which consider humans prey (such as tigers) which is the amazing partAn interesting side issue: what happens when fear goes to zero?I have a suspicion that this is like reaching absolute zero - it can never happen, but you can get arbitrarily close. And you'll get some weird results along the way.Doug:Religious belief can become the memetic equivalent of the rabies virus, up to and including its tendency to destroy its host in order to spread itself.So can any other One True Way ideology (including modernism - which is what necessitated post-modernism (which fell right into that quagmire itself)). The National Socialist Party of Germany wasn't known for being amazingly religious, nor was the Communist Party of Russia (or that of China).The problem is the One True Nature rather than the ideology itself. Trust no one who claims to have all the answers.Monkeyboy:One of the major reasons a lot of military recruits come from the middle of nowhere is because they want to get out of there. There are more or less four ways out of such places: Through a scholarship and education (few can get), through packing up and travelling to the city (a massive risk as there isn't much they can take with them or a guarantee of what they can do there), through the military, or in a coffin. For the vast majority, the military is the best option (and they don't want to stay there and watch the whole place fall apart around them, with few prospects). It's not a caste so much as a lack of other opportunities.
