Source refs: `video:predictive-history-7k5xolzwmls@transcript:v1#seg-0062`; `video:predictive-history-7k5xolzwmls@transcript:v1#seg-0063` - interpretation: Jiang distinguishes punishment from banishment: labor pain and hard agricultural work are the punishment, while banishment prevents access to the tree of life. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-eggfqdv-rpc@transcript:v1#seg-0059`, `video:predictive-history-eggfqdv-rpc@transcript:v1#seg-0060` - model: Most historical cultures treated banishment as worse than death because the individual could not exist outside the community that gave tradition, worldview, religion, and mythology. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-7k5xolzwmls@transcript:v1#seg-0050` - model: Viking and Athenian banishment show that the worst punishment in community-centered societies is removal from the group that makes the person socially real.
