Whatever this place is, it's amazing. Probably the most interesting social experiment I've seen online in over a decade. Whatever history judges it to be ultimately, it would have been worth it for the data.
Until mankind undergoes thorough Shamanic healing on an individual basis we will always be subject to the collective no matter which system we institute and how well we thought we've designed it. Excuse the "hippie talk." I've just been around the block a few times and see nothing else.
The "collective" scares the hell outa me.
