You mentioned we are predisposed to worship and it bolstered early societies, followed by the idea (which I like) of finding a common thread to unite us for 100 years. Today’s major religions were spread by the sword. It may be a mistake to attribute that to people innately.

I wonder if that martial threat could be mistaken for predisposition to worship.

To be fair, religious benefit was for the religious. “All” omits the experiences of everyone on the wrong side of the double-edged sword.

I believe the origin of “fork” is “fork in the road”, i.e. mutually exclusive paths forward.

The core abstraction of knowledge is the decision. Knowledge both informs and arises from decisions, a cycle that drives human processes. Modern software design obscures this flow by recording data instead of the decisions leading to it.

This is a result of systems accumulating data instead of individuals. The plethora of apps on my computer isn’t as daunting because they all see the same files. Successful decentralization starts with data locality.
