As an anthropologist can you sketch out, for us not so blessed, an example of the higher or highest levels of existence an individual lacking any support from any larger organized groups has actually obtained?

Thanks.

The point OP is making is that anthropological research has done the hard work of uncovering real insights that the author presumes are learned from works of fiction

Famously homogeneous anthropological research that all pulls in the same direction with no differences of opinion, the alignment of Roger Sandall and Margaret Mead, the unification of romantic primitivism no longer slurred by designer tribalism?

I'd suggest it's fair to ask self identified experts what real insights they allude to.

I think the other commenter answered exactly what I meant and you decided to ignore it, so... I just suggest you read again what they wrote.

No, you're just supposed to shut up because an anthropologist has thrown a title at you.
