¶ Loyalty
Index Entry
“The Greeks’ concept of the geometrical, bound-area of their triangle-- or their circle-- lay demonstrable on only one bound-area side of the line. As a consequence of such fundamental schooling world society became historically biased about everything. Continually facing survival strategy choices society assumed that it must always choose between two or more political or religious ‘sides.’ Thus developed the seeming nobility of loyalties. Society has been educated to look for logic and reliability only on one side of a line hoping the side chosen, on one hand or the other of indeterminately largelines, may be on the inside of the line. This logic is at the head of our reflexively conditioned biases.”
