One of the unmentioned causes of division in many of our cultures is because expectations and rules change when we start living in close proximity to each other.
In non-crowded environments, the default is independent. You are expected to drive as fast as you want, do whatever you want on your land, and say whatever you want.
In cities, proximity increases the risk of how our actions affect others. Interdependence is a benefit. So don’t drive recklessly, turn down the volume on your apartment stereo, and be aware that your words and actions affect those around you.
Both are forms of freedom. Freedom to do what you want and live in a connected culture.
As we move online, everything becomes easily accessible to everyone with just a click. We are always in close contact with people of different ages, backgrounds, and goals.
And as the world continues to get smaller and more complex, proximity will dominate. If he buys 12 bottles of water at the market (even if it’s on sale), it becomes a burden for others. When you’re done with these bottles, they’ll go somewhere and the world will become smaller than ever.
It’s farmers and cowboys, extraction and reproduction.
The paradox of early astronaut training programs was that they took top talent who were used to living in their own lane and then trained them to be close range experts.
