I wonder if that's ever happened in the history of humanity. I have my doubts.

I also wonder, but perhaps some of these may approximate more "utopianish" collective community integration:

- Genuine hippie communes (Do kibbutzes count?)

- Amish

- Indigenous tribes where elders are respected

- Rural/suburban Minnesotans because they tend towards hardy dealing with life and climate struggles and unimpressed by immodesty

- In the old days (80's/90's), my grandparents knew most of their neighbors, grocery store cashiers, butcher, hair stylist, and a number of other people well. What ever happened to that? I don't even know any of the neighbors in my apartment complex despite introducing myself, and one (Louis Vuitton-strutting cliché) woman neighbor next door won't even acknowledge my presence with pleasantries in passing. WTH.
