That most people have the politics of their groups is clearly revealed by the regionality and locality of “their” opinions and “politics”.

Eg

The confident influential commentaries, analyses, solutions…. by experts and scholars whose little-noted errors are that their insights, ideas, answers,… are unrealistic to actual life, societies, human psychologies, history, world.

The “moral justifications” for war, destruction, death – on opposite sides – as social self appeasements.

For many I know, rather than willful, it is something closer to casual or even comfortable ignorance.

It is perhaps less that the once-believed transcendent realm is obscured by the accepted virtual omnipresence of the physical, material life, than that this is noticed, if at all, by a mere hour of minutes on Sundays.

There is a very simple test as to whether someone is of mind or not: when they walk beside an open collection of books,… whether they turn to the titles or not.

The soul cage of social expectations.

If scholars are per-haps eventually not satisfied with books, do they nevertheless not remain dependent on them?

And if books are for a time the mentor of a seeker, eventually they must in life be surpassed.

In other words: books maybe the sustenance, but should not be the substance, of a scholarly seeker.

While I would now diminish the size of the “Statue of Liberty”, not only a moral cosmology of life and world, but a “philosophy of history” ate present in this cover image – which I conceived, and a Russian helped me render – of my second unread book. My second, bestunseller.

It says much that none of my “friends” have ever spoken of it.
