Prophets of the Western World

Abraham Zacuto

The modern world's a corporatocracy. In the western world corporations, are involved in almost every aspect of a person's life from birth, through their education, and of course, finally when they end up in a job, unless they are lucky enough to be self employed, or work for a small business. Even in the latter case, many small businesses are constructed to be a wanna-be version of big business, and are forced to plug into the same bureaucratic systems of taxation and regulation anyway.

It seems like this manner of social organization has its roots in the British Colonial system, which was one of the original corporatocracies. (see British East India Company) The origin of the joint stock companies was as a joint venture between european monarchies/aristocrat class and merchants, many of whom were jewish people, and it was based on systems and corporate organization, and also technology and science that jewish people either invented or retained from earlier times. [See Abraham Zacuto]

However, it seems the dominant set of "religious" ideas of this thing were Hermetic, and not Jewish at all. As described in earlier posts, it seems Hermeticism came into the Western world via the collapse of Constantinople via Greek Scholars and Italy. Hermeticism became modern science via people like John Dee and Francis Bacon, the literary circle who formed the zygote of the British Empire.

It's pretty stunning to survey the scope of the changes this tiny group of people wrought on the world. They obliterated the medieval world and replaced it with modernity.
