    How to balance the logistics of increasing population with dwindling resources while simultaneously allowing the individual more freedom is among the challenges we currently face, IMO.
    I believe some of that fear is intentionally encouraged ... if you can convince someone that they'd suddenly be incapacitated or become instantly unresponsive socially if they weren't doing what you told them to do ... well, that's potentially a slave, even if it's just a psychological one. Or if you can tax, use emminent domain, fines etc. to collect a decent chuck of someones work, then it's also potentially a slavery though of percentatges.

    On the other hand, it can be valuable to have people to help guide or coordinate things, but it's different when people do this simply to work together collectively and share abilities, skills etc. That's the "natural" model, IMO and it's much less stagnant and doesn't require lots of guns, prisons, law books or armed forces ... except for the problem of handling a few of the wolves ... that can be a tough one to find an easy solution, though it could definitely help to have a bit of room to grow with a nice "fence" that keeps the wolves out, though wolves should still be able to range free as well ... so I'd have to guess that the best solution is to simply move in a manner that wolves are incapable of following, simply because of what they are and that would appear requiring not remaining a sheep(le).

    Just FYI, this gave me goosebumps, Austin ... it's amazing how you took something so simple and turned it into a piece of art (great musical selection to go with it also).

    A look at Wat Arun , The Temple of Dawn, and the extraordinary Phra Buddha Prang, covered in thousands of porcelain & China decorations............
    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    The music was "Heart of Courage" by 'Two Steps From Hell'.

    Re: Nature!

    Great images. Definitely some original, creative and beautiful artwork in an environment with lots of history. Quite a nice mix

    My sister in law went to visit some of these and she has a friend that does artwork and some computer modeling along similar lines.

    Thanks for the posts.

    I had a good video on BumbleBees, but the song in it was too new ('Bumblebee' from "Transformers" movie, so YouTube took it off—maybe I'll upload it somewhere else and show it another time.
