9. It all goes together.

We need extra protection since we lost most of our hair and our feet got tender. But people invariably attach symbolic importance to every damn thing around them, and clothing is also adornment and an indicator of social status.

I expect in these post Cartesian times the "scrim" that exists between us and everything and everyone else is especially pronounced. Clothing is an important part of how we define ourselves to others and to ourselves.

If we removed the barrier of clothing, would other concepts appear to take its place. Ideology abhors a vacuum.
