@futurebird Since I love recommending books, I'll drop this here for everyone who might see it:
"Loneliness" by John T. Cacioppo and William Patrick
I would say that, for me personally, it's the most important book I've ever read and it profoundly changed how I view human nature.
@futurebird @RogerBW It raises the question as to what organizations there were before the Foundation.
It's also interesting to imagine god-like beings keeping each other in check.
@futurebird @RogerBW Maybe there's a "supernatural" ecosystem that was balanced until the Foundation came along.
