      Today: kids have thick relationships with their parents and that's about it. Kids don't have freedom of movement until they get a car (and even that's rarer). Multigenerational homes are gone Every formal organization is paranoid about lawsuits

      3. Guest/host. This is super dead in formal terms (although having spent time hosting travelers this year I assure you it is powerful!) In any case you can view the Greek model as a template for a form of social bonding that we might have hadhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(Greek) …

      Anyway I am thinking now that relationships with /people/ have been quite generally replaced by relationships with /institutions/ Which frankly is a pretty rotten trade-off

      Legal status aside institutions are not human they are entirely alien And they don't give a fuck about you except inasmuch as you benefit them And you don't mean anything to them Think an institution is gonna come to your funeral?

      So, RobotFriend, there's an interesting book called Politics and Passion - Michael Walzer. It's a Communitarian critique of liberalism, and it deals with Dr. Walzer's looking for ethical alternatives to this complete dissolution.

          I'll look into it. Throw it on the leaning stack of books.

          You know Junger already knew everything he writes from personal exp and observation of society, yet he feels the need to dress it up for today's "critical readers" by citing a bunch of studies. The type of book it would've been without that window dressing doesn't exist anymore.

          It's still very good, this is more of a comment on the state of literature and in which ways you're allowed to comment on the state of the world in this era than a complaint about the book.
