The thread is entitled to one very astute Bingo...for the opening afforded to call too your attention a story that begins April 22, 1519.
The story is recent in historical terms; being not so far removed from today at 490 years, represents the best encapsulation of Acting Man in motion. Civilization students, behaviorists, biblical scholars, students of the art and meanings of war, and anyone so possessed of a desire for perspective about what happens at boundaries between disparate worlds.
This story is first hand study of one Hernan Cortes' accounts of his arrival in the Mexican land as depicted in letters to his queen.
For the adventurous mind, this story is a compelling recount of boundaries crossed, and the rationalized implications that spring there from.
Being so recent, the story is better than the bible, because it inclusively describes the psychology of an age which remains as part of the great cycle of recurrence.
As hindsight, it offers an holistic view about a complete range of possibilities taken.
The Book entitled Letters From Mexico, is published since 1986 by Yale University Press.
Sun Tzu has nothing on Cortes, in fact. no figure that I can recall faces such overwhelming uncertainty, about everything confronting him.
This story details systemics, politics, science, markets, and just about every form of nuanced behaviors within categories of role players, which spring there from.
Its an inclusive story about worlds in collision.
Wherein Cortes leverages his Actions within his purpose, in such a way, as to provide a full account of true foundations of Acting mans genius with respect to his survival bias.
This story is about a world split by literally hundreds of stratified societies, its about beliefs, the role of purposeful actions, it defines stimulus response, the role of missing information, a drama of overwhelming complexity.
Because my job is input....
ps...its also heavy on the role played by mans desire for gold.
pss...it illustrates by juxt position, dissimilar results of another modern era story, that begins as these United States. |
