According to Climate Central, the US experienced 60% more power outages during the summer seasons between 2014 and 2023 than it did from 2000 to 2009.

An Introduction to Tribalism for the Modern World That Has Forgotten It

news.ycombinator.com Sustainable Views 2025-08-20 18:09:28

The Western world lives under the rule of law and holds sacred the institutions that enforce them. We believe in contracts, in due process, and in a system of justice that is fair, at least in theory. But what happens when that system frays? What happens when there is a growing class that is above the law? The unsettling answer is that an older, more brutal set of rules re-emerges. It’s a system of power that has governed humanity for nearly all of its history called tribalism. This is an intro
