I love your comment about the conglomeration of individual people. Without assuming anything about your own view on the matter, it reminded me of my long-held notion, usually damn near impossible to articulate without sounding downright crazy myself, that society exists as the means for the individuals who constitute it to meet their needs and better themselves; we individuals do not exist for the whole, however useful that whole is. And I mean ALL those individuals, EQUALLY, as far as that's possible, which should distinguish this view from the sort of "individualism" that seems to justify greed and self-indulgence at the expense of others.
How did the daggers fly, by the way? Do you think the same technology could be used to make a carving knife or steak knife do its job without my help?
