I thank you your comments, except for the bit about stumbling on to it
It's actually part of a larger theory I have about organisations or movements like religion, but it also includes psychology, the 'accepted view' in various scientific disciplines, etc.
Basically, it's about organisations or movements that act like life-forms, in that they display activities and traits that are suggestive of a living creature trying to survive.
Look at something such as psychology. It has a very bizarre history and has frequently been exposed as a complete non-science, a collection of barbaric psychiatrists treating truly helpless patients with truly barbaric methods that have been proven *not* to work for the benefit of the patient, but simply to make them more manageable. The 'science' of psychology should have died out like the 'science' of phrenology (determining things about a personality by the shape of their skull). But it hasn't. Why? Because it fought for survival and 'evolved' to beat every new threat.
The same is true of Catholocism, education, and the economy. They survive attack by evolving and changing strategies. There is no specific individual at the helm, rather it seems to be just the collective intelligence of the members that functions to keep alive movements that really ought to die.
Perhaps this sounds like just an observation, and that's it. But it's more. It's a warning. Why? Because if organisations can mimmick life then there can be predators too--organisations that can actually be of danger to us, like Scientology... but then that's a whole other debate!!
