I think I mostly got to the point I wanted to get to here. Of course, there are a lot of other important thoughts that stem from here...specifically, are we extending our care in the right directions? Are we making sure that the web is growing where it needs to grow? And how do we make those decisions.
But the overall thing I wanted to get to is...we are individuals, but we act on the world (and the world acts on us) in ways that individuality does a very bad job of explaining. The self-centered "everything needs me" feeling that I so often have doesn't serve the world or myself.
