That article had some major issues - like the author keeps making generalisations to back a point.
However, I do tend to agree. With the way things stand right now, it is easy to create and sustain specialised niche communities based around an interest or issue.
This is not to say that 'tribal' groups are a new thing. It just might be easier to reach out and find other like minded people

Came across this gem:
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, 911 OPERATOR
OPERATOR: 911. What is your urgence?
CALLER: Operator, I need an ambulance. I think I just cut my finger off in the blender ...
OPERATOR: (The sound of a cigarette being lit, then an exhale.)
CALLER: Do you hear me, man! I need an ambulance at 2304 Powell St. Now!
OPERATOR: Ceci s'intéresse.
Yes, the predicament of Roquentin ... yes ... it is the indifference to
existence of the inanimate. No matter how much he longs for something
other or something different, he cannot get away from the plundering
evidence of his engagement with the world. You know, le Monde. I think we must look at ...
CALLER: What in the shit are you talking about? I was just making margaritas ...
OPERATOR: Ah, oui. Vous pensez.
A typical ignorance of the common folk. Perhaps this is why you sit
with your extremity half-digested in the bowels of the blender. It
seems you are ... comment devoir je dis ... a student of Kant? Freedom. I spit.
CALLER: I think I'm going to pass out ...

Morals aren't religion based.... they're socially determined. They're just legitimised via religion (and now law to an extent)
Can you give me some examples where humans have created worlds or universes? Are you talking abt gaming?

actions that are of negative value such as conflict, exploitation etc will be washed out over time
I disagree with you there. If anything, those will be around forever.
