Jordan talks about how we act as egregores, not as individuals.
“Let me then lay out ordinary human context. And if your heart sinks upon hearing that, this may be a very reasonable response, but an ordinary human is born into a context where they are actually surrounded by other humans who love them.
That's an ordinary human context, and all the different kinds of humans, more or less they'll have cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents and many different kinds of friends of different ages. And there'll be taught how to navigate their relationships with other humans from the very beginning in a place of deep caring.
And their physical environment will be something to which they are well-suited and to which their culture is well-adapted will be easy, but perhaps it's better than easy. Easy is not necessarily healthy. And they'll have an enormous continuous relationship with nature, which is a great teacher as opposed to say, machines, which aren't particularly good teachers. And almost nothing in their local environment will be oriented towards things like violating their own sense of integrity or manipulating them because it's not at all of any interest to the group that the individual is destabilized. A true human group is deeply invested in the full competence, capacity, maturity, and well-being of each individual and real human group.
You have to go back a long way to be talking about real human groups, but it's the baseline from which we emerged. So we're very, very, very, very, very, very far from that, even in our best circumstances.“
