If you listen to your intuition/your intuitive self, you know this to be true. No greater insight as to the root cause of the corrosive sickness of “modernity” can be found( “traditionalists know this”) than the loss of/failure to find one’s tribe. Isolation means death, whether it be slow or faster, both to the soul and body.
Thanks, Roth Harbard.

My maternal grandmother was full-blood Cherokee. She gave up her twin daughters (now half Scots-Irish) for adoption in her church parish in MO. My “Grandpa”, the pastor, and his wife, both of German heritage (Schneider) adopted the twins. My mother attended U of I Champaign/Urbana and received a degree in mathematics with a music minor.
Dad was the son of 3rd generation German immigrants.
My parents were both officers in the US Navy. I may not disclose their duty stations.
Talk about some traumatic tribal dislocation! Very common here in the US, except for some cultural pockets of resistance that have retained their genetic roots. Minnesota, Utah, etc.
My tribe now is Anglo-Saxon science people, and we are so spread out it is hard to find fellow travelers in retirement.
My wife is a Mayflower Pilgrim from Boston. We have this in common that we are bereft of our tribes, and find common ground a comfort in each other and in God.
And yet we are proud Consitutionalists in the US.
We traveled down the Appalachian Mts from NH to TN this spring and I could feel the blood of my Mother as we got to the south end of the trip. It was in the land.
