Quote by Peter Guber

Social cohesion was built into language long before Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter - we're tribal by nature. Tribes today aren't the same as tribes thousand of years ago: It isn't just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: It's sports fans, it's communities, it's geography.

Social cohesion was built into language long before Facebook

Summary

This quote suggests that humans are naturally inclined to form social connections and gather in tribes. The concept of social cohesion existed prior to the emergence of modern social networking platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. While tribes in the past were primarily religious or ethnic, contemporary tribes have expanded to include sports fans, various communities, and geographical groups. It highlights the universal human desire to belong to a group and emphasizes the diverse forms that tribalism takes in today's interconnected world.

But now she understood, for she had heard the voice of the snake and had watched as a wise and powerful man had fallen under its spell.Eat the fruit and you can have the desires of your heart. It's not evil, it's noble and good. You'll be praised for it.And it's delicious.

Then an experience that perhaps no good man can ever have in our world came over him-a torrent of perfectly unmixed and lawful hatred. The energy of hating, never before felt without some guilt, without some dim knowledge that he was failing to distinguish the sinner from the sin, rose into his arms and legs till he felt like they were pillars of burning blood.
