[InSteady]

It's easy to forget in modern society, but in tribal society the elders were fountains of wisdom. When computers, reference materials, technical documents, libraries, school systems, etc don't exist, the value of lived experience goes through the roof.

Being able to consult the elders when the group faces perplexing problems (who may have lived through something similar, or at least heard stories from the recently deceased generations who have) might mean the difference between between 20% of the population starving and no one starving.
