Eusocial Group understands itself as a social technology. Although it cannot be directly seen, social technology, like any other form of technology, is a tool which humans create to help them better meet the challenges of their world. Some of the prominent social technologies developed in the past include religions, guilds, groups, customs, taboos, oral traditions, myths, morality plays, initiation rites, etcetera.

One of the characteristics of social technologies up until the present has been that, by-and-large, they were created implicitly and ad hoc as opposed to being purposely invented, that is to say, they would develop organically with little conscious awareness on the part of those creating them that this was in fact what they were doing. The rise of sociology, anthropology, evolutionary psychology, and related disciplines, however, has increasingly allowed for these social technologies to be brought to our conscious attention and logically analyzed.

Eusocial Group is born from the conviction that we should consciously apply humanity’s new insights from the sciences into how the social technologies of the past were created and function towards updating these technologies—or even creating new ones—which are better adapted to the modern world. This is important because the modern world has witnessed an unprecedented and sometimes bewildering amount of change. Progress is being made, so much so that some of the social technologies from the past are having a hard time keeping up. When the gap between modernity and the social technologies from the past becomes too great, these social technologies—designed to help humankind—can actually become maladaptive and do humans harm. When this happens, they are having the exact opposite effect from the one for which they were originally created.

Social technologies are important, they are all around us, and they are a part of every person’s life regardless of whether they spend much time consciously thinking about them or not. The rise of science has allowed us to “see” and understand these social technologies like never before. In a world of rapidly accelerating change, some of our social technologies have fallen behind and are becoming maladaptive. We live in a world that is constantly transforming itself, which is continuously being updated, revised, and created anew. The advancement of our world does not stop—neither should the development of our social technologies!
