I'm a realist and an idealist, a pragmatist and a futurist all at once. I like exploring alternate historical timelines. "What if these judges here and here had made different decisions (especially during the anti-trust suits in the early 1900s)?" and things like that... while, at the _same_ time, I have fictitious names for business purposes, and know where my rights start and stop with regards to law enforcement and levels of government, where my real estate rights start and stop and such. Non-profits and the variations of such are especially fascinating to me; an area I want to learn more about, as I've always had ideas in that world, as it is a fascinating mixture of American corporate personhood right alongside (theoretically) anti-capitalist "people acting as one". Of course the whole concept of "corporate as person" is only possible because of a Christian background in America. Nothing secular about business personhood - it's entirely religious in nature. God becomes man. "Where three or more are gathered in my name, I am there". An idealized "something' enters reality through the groupings of people acting as one. Fundamental to the Christian West mindset, of which I am a part of as well. But I'm biased towards a socio-historical view of things... with a heavy splash of good ol' William James' American Pragmatism thrown into the mix. Society-as-person is also a mythological construct that we believe in. it's fascinating how we take these things for granted but it's hard not to; I do it too - as it's part of our upbringing. It's not wrong, just interesting. And a few more neat synonyms: Reason = Male/Mind of God. Emotion = Female/Work of Devil Rights = Holy Spirit (righteous through Holy Spirit). Makes them into powerful concepts for a society (Church). Someday I think I'll put these ideas into a book. But I can't believe I'm the only one that thought of these things, so I'm sure it's in tons of book already. The analogies seem too clear to be missed, and I'm not that original, even though I think I am (just like everybody thinks they are )
