Makes sense to me. An unusual perspective may yield new insights.

Do our cells know they are part of a human? Do our organs think of themselves as citizens of us? They do their part anyway, whether they think about it or not, and as long as most of them do a good job, the whole survives. We don't need to look at how our society works, as long as it's healthy... er... maybe we'd better look right away.

What are you part of? I'm in a lot of things. If you are in a marriage, or a band, or other partnerships in Slag's Stage 2, you probably think on an almost daily basis about your group entity and its needs and welfare. But do you think of it as a real thing, born, maturing, responding to the environment and relating to other such entities? Why not? Is not your group a real thing, as real as a folk song, or as a crowd with a shared purpose?

Is a corporation, institution, community, or other complex (Stage 3) organisation a real entity? They are born, grow, die. The way one such group meets needs and threats is often very different from the behaviours of other groups and from the individual behaviour of the humans it comprises. Group morale, values, and other emergent cultural properties are not under any individual's direct control.

Most song I can think of is about individual experiences, not taking corporate identity seriously (staying at the "We Are the Champions" level) or seeing organisations as unnatural and inimical (parasites and armies against the people). Can you think of any song with a group, alliance, community, or company ("Vive la Compagnie") described as an entity in its own right?
