Very interesting. I'm not sure if im interpreting it correctly but it makes me think that Its as if the world, or at least human society, is made up of ideas and ideologies and that they are all struggling and competing with each orher in an attempt to shape, influence and govern the species as a whole. Some grow and some wither. Some are weak and some are extreme. Some combine with others and some break away and form new groups. Its kind of like natural selection, not with genes but with ideas.
I may not have understood your point but this is what came to mind while reading it.

It’s so very interesting how those metaphorical text may convey different than intended meanings:)
This is not what I meant. So:
a) Society is made up of ideas, ideologies but also emotions and feelings
b) People are struggling competing but also cooperating and having feelings with each other
c) I don’t know how you came up with governance of the whole species. I personally tried to tackle intrapersonal relationships and purpose of communication in them.
d) Those adjectives (grow, wither, etc.) should therefore be applied to those relationships
e) again...not only ideas but feelings too
Does it make more sense now? Anyway I appreciate how well you described what you took from the text:)
That does make sense. I guess my mind mistakenly went in a different direction.
Well as I was just told, meaning of any given text is not determined by its author, rather by observers.
I’m not yet convinced but we can contemplate about that thought:)
