How does China get a lot of its advances these days? Maybe guilds weren’t a purely medieval phenomenon? Maybe it was through religious ceremonies and a controlling priest class that was skilled because people supported them with offerings but celibate to control their generational power? Maybe familial relationships are a modern invention post-agriculture?
The obvious is not really obvious. But it’s nice when it lines up.
