What about this vision of Original Sin as a reification of our own interpretations of the ‘what is real’. Once reified, a “serpent” inspires us to actions that produce results that differ from expectations (i.e. what is defined to be ‘real’). How do we deal with those results? Examples? And how does this picture resonate with traditional interpretations of these chapters of Genesis. This topic is addressed in chapters 11,12 and 13.
[In the above examples, what do I desire?
I want to get along.
Therefore, the elites must never be satisfied with me.
They will always be morally superior in order to force me to pretend to desire things that I would never would desire on my own.
I desire to be left alone.
What I do to accomplish that desire validates the values that valorize elite moral superiority.]
[How did we get this way?
It started with the first singularity.
Humans adopted a new way of talking, speech alone talk, leaving behind the referential world of hand speech talk.
Speech alone talk allows us to create purely symbolic orders3a, specialized languages3a, thought experiments3a and mirrors of the world3a, whose unintended consequences (lawessential) can be ignored, and therefore must be ignored, by the elites who benefit from the ‘something2a’ that emerges and situates the possibilities inherent in me1a.]

[Just as the regular first-century Jews selected the ‘something2a’ that empowered the Pharisees, many twentieth century Americans vote for ‘something2a’ that denies other people’s rights and properties.
By pretending to be a victim, we get free stuff.
We vote for Progressive representatives to scam easily intimidated common folk (who strive to build wealth).
The very rich folk, however, have different options.
They hire lobbyists.
How character building is that?]
[How is this possible?
Americans are ‘free’. However, voters have consistently chosen ‘somethings2a’ that have empowered the Central Government (State and City governments no longer rule independent of the Center).
Or have they?
Their votes against the aggressive (infra)sovereign party go to the the other party.
This other party takes the passive common folk stance of meeting ritual demands in order to avoid accusations by the (infra)sovereign party.
Big Government Liberalism wins either way.
How crazy is that?]
[Here is a funny twist.
The elites in one political party openly represent the (infra)sovereign religion of Big Government Liberalism.
The elites in the other political party say that they do not belong to the religion, but behave as is if they do.
The same co-opposition of words3a(2a and bondage2a(1a) that marked Judaism at the time of Jesus also marks the Public Cult of Progressivism today.
[Turn on Progressive TV to see a parade similar to the Second Temple.
The elites of Big government Liberalism demand ritual purity. They demand that the average citizen give up “his” stuff. They say that the average citizen does not get along. They have buckets of nasty labels for the deplorables.
They say that the average citizen is intolerant unless “he” conforms to the multitudinous ritual decrees of the Progressive state, universities and various other sovereign-loving affiliations.]

[Does this sound vaguely familiar?
Do the previous blogs sound familiar in contemporary America?
The average American citizen just wants to get along. The average citizen just wants to keep “his” stuff.]
[Since the Second Temple Law was complicated and self-contradictory, accusations could always occur (especially if one attracted attention).
This threat of accusation made it easy for common folk to choose a lack of self worth in order to avoid catastrophic accusations.]
[Consider histories of Franklin Roosevelt written in the 20th century (7700s U0’).
Not one assessed the economic consequences of Roosevelt’s tragic and capricious presidential leadership.
The Federal Reserve Board caused the Great Depression.
Roosevelt did nothing to stop their madness.
He enhance the Great Depression by supplementing economic with political uncertainty.
Why did America not fall into revolution?
The common folk were still Christian.]
