Why were slaves buried with their King? This question has always intrigued me. A man becomes a dangerous animal under threat of death, but we have all of this history of it happening willingly. Perhaps the early mind lacked the autonomy and power to resist the obedience of civilization. Perhaps the psyche was a primitive beast, unable to consider an autonomous future or afford self-preservation.Let's have a closer look at the Death Pits of Ur, the retainer sacrifices of Abydos, the Roman rites of Terminus, and the 13,000 victims of the Shang Dynasty. All of them teach that civilization is an organism made of human fodder with a xenophobic caste system that views outsiders as subhuman raw materials and the self holds no value.

Yelro and Grue make Bleen. Aztec Mexica is known as a "grue" culture. Under the turquoise sky, the "Fire Serpent" (Xiuhcoatl) was the hertz of sunlight informing primitive vision.

This idea of two separate categories remained undiscovered until 1867. There is no central inventor; libraries suddenly realized these things were different. Nonfiction was a conscious emergence, the same way depth perspective in paintings came late in the 14th century. This is a public episode.
