One of the clearest indications, and liabilities of, eonic evolution in our sense is the danger of jackknifing realizations in the mideonic period as the system action wanes just at the point where its productions meet a greater totality. The nature of our model allows us no use of the mechanics of transitions to explain the mideonic outcomes. And history reflects this, keeping in mind that our account of ‘ET5, Israel’ is not theistic. We can see the difficulties and dangers of making teleological statements about the eonic mainline, and yet we tend to see the projection of the core transitions onto the greater field of culture as somehow the intended outcome of the whole process. The problem with this, and there are others, is that the middle period and the long term are different, and the result turns into a teleological ideology on the part of those realizing its action. The Jews and the Christians quite obviously diverged in their interpretations. This example should cure anyone of teleological thinking. We can see the quiet desperation of someone like Mohammed, ‘start over from scratch’. The entire egregious and wrong result of Christianity with its Anti-Semitic strain is one of horrors of world history. We should note that we see similar effects in India in the divergence of Buddhism and Hinduism and the long conflicts between the two.

In any case, the confusion of Christians and Jews is especially tragic. It is logical, in retrospect, to see the transformation of the Judaic emergentism into a world religion as part of distributed evolution, but the actual details shows an arbitrary character, and a very dubious series of attempts to justify the result in theological terms. The modern period shows the whole danger all over again in the rise of the far left in the throes of globalization, and we need to try and find some resolution of the inexorable deviations of teleological claims on the future, owned by noone.
