3. What it rests on
-
Outside the West the doctrine was named more often than it decided. Al-Ḥallāj was charged in Baghdad with claiming divinity, but a Shāfiʿī jurist held that "spiritual inspiration was beyond his jurisdiction"; he was executed in 922 after a hostile vizier revived the case [SRC-984]. In 1756 a ban at Brody, endorsed by the Council of Four Lands, barred Lurianic kabbalah before forty: a restriction, not a condemnation [SRC-985] [SRC-986]. The nearest thing on record to a ban on inner teaching as such came from a secular state: the Reich Security Main Office's action of June 1941 against occult teachings, anthroposophy and theosophy [SRC-987]. Where an inner doctrine was charged, faction, succession or a crisis at the center was usually at work too.

The closest text to suppressing such teaching as such is a secular state's: the Nazi Reich Security Main Office's order of 4 June 1941 against occult teachings, anthroposophy and theosophy, issued after Rudolf Hess's flight to Britain [SRC-987].

Suppression of inner teaching as such. Where Western offices condemned inner teaching, the charge named its claim to do without their means, and the Catholic and Orthodox churches honored mystics who kept within them (see THE RELIGIOUS HIVE MIND, on /the-hive-mind). In a second set of 28 cases, from Islamic, Jewish, Indic and East Asian history and modern secular states, the inner doctrine was named in 10 and was the only operative reason in at most one, a provisional case. The motives on record were many: faction, property, revenue, succession and control of bodies that answered to no license. Suppression of inner teaching as such, or by design: not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found.

- HSRP-414 · PROBABLE · THE TWO HIVE MINDS: party loyalty in the United States works as a social identity, and voters largely follow it. Rests on: the publisher's description of Achen and Bartels, Democracy for Realists (2016) (voters choose "on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues"; the book itself not opened); Finkel and fourteen co-authors, Science 370 (2020) (political sectarianism defined at p. 533; "cold feelings toward the out-party now exceed warm feelings toward the in-party", p. 533; a majority-party candidate "could get elected despite openly violating democratic principles", p. 535, reporting Graham and Svolik 2020, not opened); Rathje, Van Bavel and van der Linden, PNAS 2021 (each out-group term raised the odds of a post being shared by 67%, from the abstract, which gives n = 2,730,215; observational; sharing, not votes). Washington's Farewell Address (1796) is quoted as a text, the two fragments being the opening and closing words of one sentence. Against, carried on the page: Druckman, Green and Iyengar (2023) found "scant evidence of a direct link between affective polarization and democratic backsliding in the U.S." That the two party hive minds are steered by design is not yet found, and it is not yet known whether it will be found; what is found is an incentive that rewards hostility. The model of the hive mind is this site's own, set out on /the-hive-mind, whose section 9 is "THE TWO-PARTY ARCHITECTURE", and on /psycho-vulgarism.Relation: not recorded
