1. The European Religion: Epicureanism vs Stoicism: All classes have different degrees of agency and resulting differences in responsibility. However, all people require mindfulness within the limits of their agency and responsibility.
2. The Epicurean Program is the west's scientific and verbal analog to the Buddhist unscientific and experiential method of obtaining mindfulness, and the west's lower working and laboring class religions.
3. The stoic program is an analog of the Confucian program, of middle, upper middle and lower upper class people, have greater agency, work in business, politics, or war, and cannot insulate themselves from the struggles of doing so.
4. Aryanism( think the early Romans or the Spartans - adversarial excellence and destiny to rule lesser men and transform them and the world ) has no parallel in other civilizations.
