There is another plane with which we can define the fundamental conflict
of our age--indeed of most ages--that runs orthogonal to the stasis vs.
dynamism dichotomy. That is the individualism vs. communitarianism
duality (one popular example is the Tragedy of the Commons). Our society
swings like a slow pendulum from the ideal of compassion for the least
among us to the ideal of the rugged frontiersman taking all he can get.
Right now we seem to be in an orgiastic celebration of the latter, but
as we move back toward the center, the two notions will come more nearly
into balance and the virtues of both will be more sharply delineated
than of late.
