Peter, Thanks for raising the militia example, I'd been searching for a similar one. It seems that this
thread is weaving through some familiar territory (what scales up and how with CHAT, cultural relativism,
the relationship with non-humans). At the same time, there's something fresh about framing it in terms of
zoped and questioning the often-unconscious positive spin we put on the term development. At least to
surface these questions, particularly in terms of what termporal frame we are using, seems very positive.
To me, anyway!
