When We Are Reflecting On

Hierarchy Works Well In A Stable Environment.

The Natural Response Of The Old-timers Is To Build A Strong Moral Wall Against The Outside. This Is Where The World Starts To Be Painted In Black And White, Saints Inside, And Sinners Outside The Wall.

Islam Is In Principle Egalitarian, And Has Always Had Problems With Power.

Mormons... Are So Strong, They Can Handle Wealth, They Are Confident. I Think It Is Because They Are Not Bogged Down By Rules For Equality, But Have A Firmly Defined System Of Relative Status And Responsible Command.

Pretensions To Moral Superiority Are Devastatingly Destructive.
