Experts: Omniscient or Nescient, All or Nothing at All
Abstract
Evidently experts either see more than is there or nothing at all. They are either omniscient or nescient, seeing all or seeing nothing depending upon whether new observations slot into their paradigm or not. Those expecting only the conventional can be, to all intents and purposes, truly blind. Who Lies Sleeping? The Dinosaur Heritage and the Extinction of Man by Dr Michael D Magee
Science may have evicted ghosts and witches from our beliefs, but it just as quickly filled the vacancy with aliens having the same functions.
Folklorist, Thomas E Bullard (1989)

The code of Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) specifies that an apprentice is taken into the home of an artisan, his master, as an adopted child. Thus the master is his father. Earlier, in Sumeria, a workshop of apprentices was considered a brotherhood, the chief of whom was the “big brother”. Here then are the clear social roots of patriarchal religions like Christianity, as well as secret societies like Freemasonry. The apprentices of a skilled workman were his children, and he was their master and their father.

One and a half millennia after the triumph of Christianity — only four centuries ago, but before the enlightenment — Queen Anne was the last Stuart monarch of Great Britain, obviously as privileged a human being as it was possible to be, and with the best medical care money could buy.
In the last seventeen years of the seventeenth century, she was pregnant eighteen times. Only five children were born alive. Only one of them survived infancy. He died before reaching adulthood, and before her coronation in 1702.
