“People— once they became metropolitan, once they developed cities, and once they developed a high degree of trade between cities— began to gather together, not on the basis of tribal loyalties, but on the basis of mental loyalties. People who shared a common idea or people who shared a common emotional set could find other people like them in other cities and gather together in international subcultures.”
