Your tribe is the set of all people that (a) you consider to be part of your tribe and (b) who consider you to be part of their tribe.

This isn’t a theoretical construct. You can actually enumerate your tribe members from your social graph.

Exercise: to what extent does your tribe correspond to national borders?

My tribe was very geographically localized to the US and more specifically where I live or used to live. In the past 2 years that has shifted dramatically. I haven’t charted it but the fact that at least once a day I say “what time is it in Australia?” says a lot.
