I agree with everything you said. I use the purposefully archaic word "tribe" to remind myself that this feeling of tribal competition is based on our biology and was evolved in the distant past to solve problems that we no longer need to solve in the same way.

I think the issue with saying tribal competition is based on our biology, is that all our basic precepts concerning thinking are rooted in our biology.
We can no more escape our tribalism, than we can escape our desire for love and human comfort.
