(From Brad today)
1. The Paradigm goes with age: hunter gatherer – mythology; agrarian -axial – theology: industrial – philosophy/ideology; information/aesthetic – operationalism
2. The Last Institution is Most Vulnerable: The sequence of institutional formation leaves the weakest of the three vulnerable to outside conquest or capture by that weak institution: Both Ancient Greece and Rome lacked a properly instituted religion, until the importation of Christianity.
3. Metaphysical Limits: Individual incentives are limited by the civilizational constraints they dwell within: The institutional sequence limits the frame of individual incentive and thought.
