—“…in a recent article by John Van Engen.54 In it, he discusses the current debate among historians as to whether or not “medieval culture was essentially ‘Christian’ or ‘Catholic.’ “55 As Van Engen notes, some historians now claim that, outside of a minuscule clerical elite, “the great mass of medieval folk lived in a ‘folklore’ culture best likened to that observed by anthropologists in Third World countries.”56”—
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A PRODUCT OF ITS ORIGINS, BUT OF ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO GERMANICIZED FOLK RELIGION – RE-INSTITUTIONALIZED UNDER COLONIALISM.
—-…”a concept is not best understood in light of its origins, but rather in light of the direction in which the tradition is moving. To take Christianity as a notorious example: I do not believe that the truth of Christianity will best be elucidated by a search for its origins, but rather by an observation of its development in tradition. This approach is a reversal of the assumption that has dominated Christian and much other religious scholarship for a very long time, an assumption characterized by the genetic fallacy: that the true meaning of a word—or of an idea—lies in its pristine state.48″—-
—“Discoveries [were] made by church workers in regions and in a period where we would assume particularly deep and well-instructed religiosity: Saxony and the neighboring parts of Germany around 1600. Once out of the upper-class circles, however, and even in a time of bitter theological rivalries to concentrate the greatest possible attention on the faith, the
vast bulk of the population are found to have been largely or totally ignorant of the simplest matters of doctrine, rarely or never attending church. . . . “They were given over to “soothsayers, cunning women, crystal-gazers, casters of spells, witches, and other practitioners of forbidden arts.”—tGoEMC
—“Elites developed the industrial revolution, not peasants in the field or sitting around the table at dinner time. Like always elites create innovations and the masses follow along. They weren’t tricked into it, anymore than the elites were tricked into inventing things. It’s natural. The idea that there is some kind of intrinsic abuse of workers by the elites assumes “generational agency” on both parts to get to where we are that doesn’t exist….off the top of my head.”—Mike Harvey

–“In a discussion of Japanese religious psychology, Brendan Branley, a Maryknoll missionary to Japan, has noted that “essentially, there is a heightened consciousness of their identity as a distinct people, of their membership in a group whose purposes they are willing to serve at the expense of their own.”
This observation is supported by Robert BelSah’s analysis
of the relationship between Japanese religion and economic development. Bellah describes the enduring notion of kokutai, which arose during the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868) as “a concept of the state in which religious, political and familistic ideas are indissolubly merged.”39 Jesuit missionaries to China in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were similarly confronted with a high level of organic unity that was expressed through ancestor and emperor worship.
A strong sense of social unity and collective security also prevailed among the Germanic peoples in the early Middle Ages. Although they may have been less culturally sophisticated than the contemporary Japanese, like them, the Germanic peoples did not have immediate social or spiritual needs which Christianity might fulfill. Also, the homogeneity of early medieval Germanic society, like that of contemporary Japan, did not predispose it to the Christian message. Christianity tends to flourish in heterogeneous societies in which there exist high levels of anomie, or social destabilization. Since the relationship of social structure to ideological structure and religious expression will play a significant role in this inquiry, a brief discussion of fundamental concepts is presented here.
Similarly, the Anglo-Saxon missionaries did not emphasize the central soteriological and eschatological aspects of Christianity. Instead, seeking to appeal to the Germanic regard for power, they tended to emphasize the omnipotence of the Christian God and the temporal rewards he would bestow upon those who accepted him through baptism and through conformity to the discipline of his Church.52 Other medieval advocates of Christianity, such as the authors of the Heliand53 and The Dream of the Rood,54 apparently sought to appeal to the Germanic ethos and world-view by portraying Christ as a warrior lord.”—

—“Compared with Whites, Native Hawaiians had higher androstenedione (+22%, P = 0.017), total testosterone (+26%, P = 0.013), bioavailable testosterone (+33%, P = 0.002), E1 (≥21%; P = 0.009), total E2 (+26%, P = 0.001), bioavailable E2 (+31%, P < 0.001), and lower SHBG (−12% P = 0.07) levels. Compared with Whites, Japanese Americans had higher E2 (+15%, P = 0.036) and bioavailable E2 (+18%, P = 0.024) levels. African Americans also had higher E1 (+21%, P = 0.004), E2 (+20%, P = 0.007), and bioavailable E2 (+20%, P = 0.015) levels compared with Whites, whereas mean levels in Latinas were similar to those of Whites.”—-
To recap, stem cells are coerced into specialization as a byproduct of endless bacteriophage and virus flow perpetually offsetting the magnificent exponential power of mitosis. Having one universal cell for all time proved to be impossible due to potentially fatal delays in energy availability.
AKA energy isn’t universally abundant for the singular cell and so pressures selected for different cellular strategies. Mitosis speed variation, thickness in membranes, organelle placement and function, replication techniques, DNA structure, RNA methodology, etc. Each variable tuned ever so slightly per generation and tested under the crucible of entropy and bacteriophage. Specialization was inevitable under these circumstances.
Cells do “cooperate” in a manner that their structural biases assume other systemic pressures will be reliably available. For example, most cells don’t handle their own immunological defensiveness because they have grown to assume an immune system is actively on the job. This is less a “cooperation” in an empathy sense and more of a “we don’t know any better, we just do one thing” ecosystem adapting to its own metastructure.

Why I am harder to understand than Bohm Bawerk, Nietzsche, Hegel, or Heidegger is beyond me. I think the principle difference between readers who grasp quickly and those who don’t is of course, IQ, but whether you have been exposed to the scientific method, programming, and economics sufficiently to ‘think scientifically’ in each of the dimensions: diligence(Science), operations(programming), equilibrations(economics). There are twenty something novel inventions in propertarianism. They can easily be understood. What is difficult is putting them into practice – particularly use of the definitions, series, incentives, and their equilibrations.
