Yeah: Aristoteles was Alexander's master and Alexander was an Emperor, a Conqueror and a Demi-God (according to ancient sources): would you blame Aristoteles, too? I would.

A pity Lewis was "just" an academic, an Inkling and had no political power. Would you blame King George for not listening to Lewis? I would not.

What I mean is that Lunar Behavior and Lunar Propaganda and Cryticism to the Lunar Ideals and Lunar Ideals (in Prax) and Lunar Mysticism are all very different things. Apart from the differences between Lunar/Imperial/Solar etcetera.

I think this argument is going nowhere if we don't consider these basic differences.

sorry for the intrusion.
