—“A thought: this want of a pack leader; Do you think it is forever changing? At first thought it would be a projection onto another, for whatever the reasons, then once one has acquired or matured those parts within themselves to a point they no longer need that leader, they move onto the next and repeat. Do you feel a link between internal maturation of the organism and projection onto another?”— Scott Claremont

Scott,

I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to say but if I’m guessing correctly, then yes, it’s forever changing both at the macro (group) and personal(individual) level, and that’s the evidence anyway if we look across time.

I usually use the example of ethics:

> infantile(selfish) > heroic(imitative), virtue(character) > rule (law, norm > discipline-rules) > and outcome.

And that our ‘gods’ mature just like our ethics.

But what does that mean for education, commons production, and justice (law)?

I mean, if we acknowledge the needs of men we supply them with what they need to transition (mature), until that point they no longer can.

How do we stop the propagation of falsehoods while preserving the utility of parable?

How do we fulfill the pack leader demand, while not creating falsehoods?

So far I can’t get past the homogenous polity and the king/emperor as pack leader. The universe as ‘divine order’ without divinity. And man’s purpose to become the universe’s gods.
