*** Thank you for your correction. Indeed, what "they are" depends on
my relative point of view, given radical constructivism, and in that
case, "global society".

I use anti-social and society in the sense given by Heather Marsh in her
glossary, and developed in her writings: [0]

Society: Interdependent relationships of people who have agreed to be
bound by a social contract with each other. All people belong to many
different societies of every size. The root of society is a mother
giving birth to a child, creating the first unequal dependency from
which interdependent society was built. Trade relationships have a root
of two presumed equal men shaking hands which results in a trade
economy, not a society. Professional societies are only societies if
they include the nurturing, education and support of those who wish to
enter them.

Anti-social: instrumental to dissociation or the destruction of society
and social relationships.
