The mistake he does, is that he thinks we live in a world of being, a world in three dimensions, the truth is we live in a world in four dimensions and thus we are part of the system of our surroundings, thus interrupting hereditary principle would be like cutting one's arm. ![[Pasted image 20210627101235.png]] A family is like a human being, as a human being is a family of living beings. >'All free subjects are born inheritable, as to their land, and also as to the free exercise of their industry, in those trades whereto they apply themselves and whereby they are to live. ~ [[Tawney]]
