London invented the legal fiction called a corporation. Then gave its
corporation equal rights with humans. (As an aside, it'd be interesting
to know if the City of London Corporation, commonly called the Crown,
was incorporated first.)
    At this point it's important to differentiate global, City of London
sized corporations from infinitesimally smaller mom and pop
corporations. Because big boys at the top of corporate feudalism love to
hide the dirty details of crony Capitalism behind mom and pop and
pretend everything's existentially entrepreneurial based. Besides, big
boys believe it's not fair to force trust babies to compete against real

Francis Bacon revealed his dream in _New Atlantis_. He sought to move
beyond corporations to supranational scientism. So sciencey specters
such as global warming and covid can be controlled by a scientific
autocracy along the lines of these guys:

Far sighted Bacon knew it would take centuries for his vision to come
true. Should Trump singlehandedly reverse centuries of sociological
ratcheting it'd be enough to make Bacon "sing the blues" as they say.
Only the blues didn't exist back in Bacon's day - ergo "Flow My Tears."

Thank you for that long explanation. Was the reader supposed to
immediately realise all that based on your cryptic comment:

"ObSF: "Flow my Tears" the Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon said."?

As this is an SF group, I interpreted your reference as to Dick's "Flow

But Dick's tale was of a household name 'exiled' to an alternate reality
where he was unknown and that has no relevance to the Atlantic cartoon
cover. (Unless my memory is at fault.)

Despite your earlier misgivings in this thread about only understanding
really twisted PK Dick for only a short time you did an excellent job
of summarizing his story!

It's unintuitive how Constable Bacon jumps out at you at my mention of
Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon. Do you remember your followup to my
"Hidden Life is Best" post?

Most of my long explanation above has been repeatedly posted in bits
and pieces since Spring. Oprah's discipleship is new.
