everything changed just before 1500 when the med sea navigators of the old world discovered both new world of america to the west and circumnavigating africa to reach asia to the east - but the last 300 years of the old world's tri-continent- Africa-Asia-Europe was probably the most peaceful and multi-win trading in human experience to that date

and i happily thank francis as the smartest western leader
Coming from 5 generations of Diaspora Scots - i am wary of top down religions, top down staNdardised education curricula, complex top down laws
bi happily celebrate the ideology of francis
he was a servant leader who went to live with the poor, try to work out what poverty traps were needed for their family/community to grow
he asked his female followers the clares to be last mile communty healthworkers
he asked his male followers to study nature's diversity
he made a visit to Muslims to positively connect his ideology and theirs and this helped make the western end of the silk road whose eastern end was built round consciousness cultures revering multiple natural sprits not one overall god- THE MAPS OF MARCO POLO TELL THIS JOYFUL STORY
personal weariness: -a very scottish viewpoint? if we used a time machine to visit my 4 times great grandad on the isle of arran in 1840s on a sunday you would have seen most of the island doing over an hours walk to meet in a community circle- what to do next? the english having colonised scots were thinning our population- landowners were told they would be taxed around the view that they quarterly made more profit from sheep than growing families- so my descendants negotiated just enough money to emigrate- today that explains why scots are 80% a worldwide diaspora nation not having made a livelihood on our homeland
