Un trib e forma naturala in care oamenii liberi se "organizeaza". Mai jos, niste lucruri foarte interesante, se pare ca toata istoria unui trib + ceva asemanator "animismului" apare de la sine. Desigur despre toate astea ni se spune ca "e o faza normala in timpul cresterii". Dar nu poate continua, hrana e inchisa, "civilizatia" urmeaza.

Sunt locuri unde nu exista conditii pentru obtinerea celor de baza - participand in sistemul masinii, atunci aceste triburi incipiente formeaza in timp bandele, vedeti Brazilia. Nici ei nu au acces direct la hrana, asa ca difera in obiceiuri fata de triburile din trecut. Contin elemente ale masinii.

Nu spun "sa revenim la triburi". Sunt bune - ca organizatie pentru oamenii care participa, dar e posibil ca civilizatia sa fie inevitabila. Prin razboi intre triburi, un trib mai puternic cucereste tot, etc... Raman la "nu stiu" in privinta civilizatiei inevitabile. Pentru ca tribul ala sa fie mai puternic - nu are nevoie numai de agricultura, are nevoie de clase sociale, bani, proprietate. Cum apar conceptele astea ?

Children's street culture

"Children's street culture refers to the cumulative culture created by young children. Collectively, this body of knowledge is passed down from one generation of urban children to the next, and can also be passed between different groups of children (e.g. in the form of crazes, but also in intergenerational mixing). It is most common in children between the ages of seven and twelve. It is strongest in urban working class industrial districts where children are traditionally free to "play out" in the streets for long periods without supervision.

Children's street culture is invented and largely sustained by children themselves, although it may come to incorporate fragments of media culture and toys in its activities. It is not to be confused with the commercial media-culture produced for children (e.g., comics, television, mass-produced toys, and clothing), although it may overlap.

Young children's street culture usually takes place on quiet backstreets and pavements, and along routes that venture out into local parks, playgrounds, scrub and wasteland, and to local shops. It can often incorporate many found and scavenged materials such as old car seats, tyres, planks, bricks, etc. Sometimes found materials will be combined to create objects (e.g. making guys for Bonfire Night — see Beck 1984). Play will often incorporate crazes (sometimes incorporating seasonal elements that are freely collected, such as conkers, snowballs, sycamore seeds). It also imposes imaginative status on certain sections of the urban realm (local buildings, kerbs, street objects, road layouts, etc). In summer children may use scavenged materials to create a temporary and semi-hidden 'den' or 'hideout' or 'HQ' in a marginal area near their homes, that serves as an informal meeting and relaxation place during the summer (see: Sobel, 2001). An urban area that looks faceless or neglected to an adult may have deep 'spirit of place' meanings in children's street culture.

Although it varies from place to place, research shows that it appears to share many commonalities across many cultures. "

Ascent of Humanity

"In writing this book, for example, when I steel myself to cover certain material necessary to the book's logical framework, my words come out pedantic and uninspired; my best writing comes when I'm "playing around" with the ideas, and in this play a logic and structure emerges that is far more potent than anything I could have thought up beforehand. I imagine Thomas Edison doing the same kind of thing, puttering around in his lab, trying this and that with no guarantee of success but in the process thinking of a new idea, trying it out. I imagine Albert Einstein, trying out,, just for his fun and delight, ideas in physics that must have seemed crazy at first, but not caring, exploring them anyway. I don't mean to compare myself to these geniuses, only to illustrate a principle of creativity: forgetting about what has been done before, what will work, what brings secure results, and trying something else for the fun of it."

"Unlike joint consumption, play is by nature creative. Joint creativity fosters relationships that are anything but superficial. But when our fun, our entertainment, is itself the object of purchase, and is created by distant and anonymous specialists for our consumption (movies, sports contests, music), then we become consumers and not producers of fun. We are no longer play-ers. "
