On the Trail of Interdependence
Our networks both help us and put us at greater risk.Yes.
"The reliance on others involves both risk and reward: it allows us to expand beyond the boundaries of our individual bodies, but when the collective system that we rely on begins to buckle, it brings us all down with it. Recognizing the potential of this ever-looming (and ever-widening) disaster should impel us to make vast improvements on a structural scale, and fast. Like it or not, we are already living in the Age of Exarky."
A small network is more stable and more fragile.
The hermit is dependent on the local community for food and clothing in most cases.
