The radical Left and Right understanding of the individual is as one component of the masses. Conservatism sees deeper into the "little platoons" that make up the complexities and vitality of life.
“Complex systems; they are often legible at very large scales and at the very small scale of individual behavior, but that legibility falls apart at the medium scale, where spillovers and feedback loops are most pronounced.” ~Charles Marohn
