My interest is in community development work or fostering civilization and I never know how to explain that in a nutshell.
An ancient Greek once said something like "Man is a product of the polis." Polis is the Greek city-state and I don't think there's an equivalent English word.
The statement gets translated variously as "Man is a political animal." or "Man is a social creature." Polis wasn't just the legal and political structure of a particular form of government. It was also the social fabric of their society.
In a word it was the community.
Humans are a group animal and some are more social than others but even those who don't much socialize depend heavily on the works and products of other people to have a civil lifestyle.
Few people live completely alone while raising or hunting all their own food, making all their own clothes, etc. Even hermits typically live in a house built by many workers and eat food grown by someone else and drive a car built by someone else.
It's often been observed that stripping an individual of all connections to other people results in that individual losing something important that can be called their humanity.
I do the things I do to try to fix what broke so people can connect in a healthy way and be part of a functioning community.
The human brain defaults to functioning best in a group of about 150 people and no one really has that anymore. Even tiny villages have connections to the outside world and aren't capable of living in isolation any longer, completely or mostly independent and self sustained.
I write to find defacto functional solutions in the face of humans being victims of our success, having grown too large and complex for "natural" group dynamics to adequately serve our needs.
