What social inheritances went outward with the Scattering? We know those times
intimately. We know both the mental and physical settings. The Lost Ones took
with them a consciousness confined mostly to manpower and hardware. There was a
desperate need for room to expand driven by the myth of Freedom. Most had not
learned the deeper lesson of the Tyrant, that violence builds its own limits.
The Scattering was wild and random movement interpreted as growth (expansion).
It was goaded by a profound fear (often unconscious) of stagnation and death.
