From Wikipedia: A surgical suture, also known as a stitch or stitches, is a medical device used to hold body tissues together and approximate wound edges after an injury or surgery.

Based upon observation of our current environment, perhaps before we can "weave" the culture, we may need to "stitch" the culture to stop the bleeding and treat the wound.

Ed, I do agree. That is why we propose a guided evolutionary process. Now sell it to the crowd!

I found this even more interesting and useful the second time I read it. Prosocial behavior "builds trust, honesty, reliability, reciprocity, cooperation, effective conflict resolution, and integrity." That's what this will be all about, eh? I'm definitely looking forward to reading more.

So are you using the words "culture" and "society" interchangeably, then? As synonyms? I think of culture as the meanings conveyed in a society, especially through cultural works like art, literature, films, TV shows, etc. But a lot of thinkers use "culture" and "society" interchangeably, as synonyms, so if you're doing so I can roll with it.
