Really? There's quite a difference between originated and endorsed.

As I said to Mary the other day, I would happily live without stacks, because I
already see both cities and cells as social value. It's only useful to make
people see how general the MoQ really is, that a city of people and a city of
organelles are built by the same type of value.
On the other hand, it seems I've underestimated some people's narrow-mindedness.

Hmm, let's see who you should direct that to. I acknowledge, and have always
done so, the human social value of human societies, and also the transition
from socially controlled societies to intellectually controlled ones, and of
course such societies are more moral than socially controlled. Bo, and many
others, do *not* acknowledge that cells, nor collections of cells, are
controlled by social value. Neither do they think that such a collection called
an animal can transition into being controlled by intellectual value using a
brain.
Those two types of societies can be expressed as two different stacks, or
truths if you like. So, one stack's truth is that human societies are
controlled by social or intellectual value, the other stack's truth is that
cell societies are controlled by social or intellectual value.
So there you have it. Stacks support multiple truths as well. The main
difference between Bo and me is that Bo refuses to leave his stack, whereas I
can move freely between the stacks/truths.
