CONTENT/CONTEXT DYADS
Content/context jointly interact , interrelate, intersect, in due time.
"More in the man than in the land," acknowledges content/context in asymmetric operation in farming, ranching, mining, fishing, teaching, governing, building, inventing, etc.
"Asymmetric," as used here, means a lack of equality. It suggests that in no context/context dyad or pair, are their outcomes/inputs exactly equal, or equivalent, inter se (within itself); nor "extra se," outside itself.
Children raised in the same family are different; so, too, puppies from the same litter, or citizens within the same country, as our American history attests, respecting the legal status accorded to non-"whites," as compared to majority "whites."
"Whites" is a content/context dyad created by expediency to facilitate colonization of the new land by its Western European "discoverers."
The term was first used relative to natives and immigrants; then later to distinguish "white" indentured servitude from black indentured servitude; to frustrate and forestall a more successful conclusion of the 1667 rebellion, which only was thwarted by the death of its prime mover, Nathaniel Bacon, himself a rich colonial, whose name it bears.
In this same geographic region, today, Virginia and Maryland roughly, such personages arose as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Douglass, Betsy Ross, Harriet Tubman; and many more persons, who were differentially created and cast into life by the content/context colonial dyad.
Each of one of us is a product, or a byproduct of our unique content/context dyad, as is all else that is; each is differential, not though not coincidental, but specially called forth into being, into the here and now, by God for such purposes as may be discerned by us or others.
