Disposable people

[nats]

it's actually a fundamental question. is it better to put yourself first or to put the group you're part of first? the general (somewhat stereotypical) perspective is that 'western' cultures promote individuality while 'eastern' ones promote collectivism. which is better? as multiples we deal with the micro/internal version of this everyday, e.g. when are one insider's wants/needs more important than the group's?
