The technology might be evolved, but the core mindset is still Bronze Age tribalism. Kill all the Amaluks.

The Zealots couldn't bring themselves to acquiesce to the Roman Empire and got a chunk of the Jewish population expelled.

Now the Zionists, using the economic resources that Diaspora Judaism accumulated as a significant aspect of the networking mechanisms of European nationalism, look to re-litigate the issue.

What if the Angles and the Saxons both had messianic religious cores, that prevented them from ironing out their differences? Where would European civilization be today?

We are no longer fighting this out with bronze tipped spears and chariots. The sociology has to evolve to match the technology. Ideals are not absolutes.

As these linear, goal seeking organisms in this cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality, it's like we never really internalized the implications of the world being round, not flat.

What goes round, comes round. Karma.

We can strategize all we want, but if the premises are flawed, all the "shut up and calculate" is just so much GIGO. Epicycles.
