I'd like to emulate lichen on a red granite bolder overlooking the coast. With the right tech I should still be able to read your essays.
"hunter-gatherer nomadism"
Hunter-gathers are mostly not nomadic (pedantry warning) Nomads herd beasts and are nomadic in contrast to the settled types they trade with, plant-based folks who described them nomads as "rootless".... perhaps the nomads called them hoofless and implied a similar pejorative distaste. They wrote less stuff down. The pair co-evolved, and separated and re-integrated over millennia.

by regional they mean areas smaller than most major entities in the HRE.
Aristocratic virtues are really just good worlding draped in expensive tapestries, with the implication people who cannot afford such tapestries are also rootless or hoofless as the case may be, I mean it might be a good way to try and sell good worlding to those with more decision making power (greater risk of mistakes) I mean I am all for more good worlding, but, hmmm, reminds me that I live in a monarchy with parliamentary oversight, the only benefit in maintaining the crown in a person has, is in keeping a lid on those who would be monarch, because there already is one (it controls conservative would-be pretenders), and practical peeps head elsewhere in politics, a certain stability is thus generated but at a cost of some honesty. I understand that the 'elected king' is a risk with the model in the USA, being as it is such an early post-enlightenment innovation.
I could write a response to this as long as the original post. Until that happens, thanks for this. We differ on several points, and a fuller historical context would bring these differences out. Eventually this needs to happen.
