Philosophy and Play; Individualism and Collectivism

A community will not have good philosophy until it has good sports. The Ancient Greeks were the world’s first philosophers and they were the world’s first people to organize global sporting events. The first Olympic Games was organized in Ancient Greece and is traditionally dated to 776 BC. 

A community will not have individualism, unless it has collectivist institutions. The Ancient Greeks were the first to philosophize on individualism, and they were the first to train their soldiers (hoplites) to parade with full disciple, wear common uniform which included metal body armor, and fight shoulder to shoulder in a military formation (phalanx).
