Note throughout my HierCon stories that a common thread is resistance to monoculture. Monoculture weeds everything that isn’t a small selection of crops. States, churches … tend to foster monoculture. Universities weed all ideas where they don’t recognize the intellectual patent as theirs in orthodoxy. My university wouldn’t have understood what I was saying even had they tried to listen! Their minds were already dedicated to sterility.
