Comment: Anyone see this author Sebastian Junger on PBS Newshour? He’s got a book out called Tribe about community..can’t even define tribe – no reference to extended family or race..jeesh. Does he have any idea where the aboriginal tribes came from?
He said our tribes need to be more diverse. Gah.
* If you’re waiting for a kumbaya moment don’t hold your breath. Nature doesn’t care for them.
* I actually, know him. He’s complex, and a very good guy. He is extremely intense and, in my opinion, may not “present well” on TV. His books are good. When he was a graduate student in the mid 80′s he wrote a very good book which is unlike any of his “War” books (or movie) of the last 10 or so years, “The Perfect Storm.” Anyway, Junger is a free spirit, beholden to no ideological camp. He is more a cultural anthropologist in his approach to the idea of “tribe.” He goes into the philosophy of the idea of “tribe,” not origin…does that make sense?
