7. We could learn so much from these belief structures

I feel modern religion has vastly exploited ingrained, instinctual spirituality to promote a cultural narrative of growth and progress. Science has had a bit of a hand at destroying all spirituality in general, and objectifying our system by breaking it into parts for study and domestication. Modern culture seems to be a bit lost and disconnected to what may be an instinctual way to perceive the world that many non-growth societies share. If there is to be a breakdown and any viability for our species thereafter--even as a scientist--I think that there may be a necessity to view the world in some type of pantheistic way if we can ever find a sustainable way to live.

Thanks for including bits about your people--you've sent me to wiki again.

There may come a time when, out of necessity, nation states attempt to do this overtly beyond their ability via market pressures (if that time is not upon us already). If an entire group of people can look themselves in the mirror and explicitly reject equality to their core, in the face of dwindling resources and an environment that can collapse no more, we may see even more world chaos.
