I would say any human individual serves multiple genes at once. First the
normal, biological genes. The selfish genes as Dawkins called them. Then the
other, hidden genes. I have written a book about it named "The secret genes"
which I'm publishing now, this month. It is about the secret genes in the holy
books of the big religions. We know them all as commandments, but normally we
don't recognize them as what they are - cultural genes which create social
lifeforms. Religious organizations are social lifeforms created by genes which
are expressed in church services. Thus the temples from ancient civilizations
are fossil remains of ancient lifeforms. Fascinating, isn't it? I try to
explain it in more detail in the book. Since the content of the book is so
explosive, I have decided to publish it in German first, to avoid some form of
apocalypse like the collapse of civilization or Notre Dame burning down. But
since nobody will read it anyway and Notre Dame has already burnt down there is
no reason why it shouldn't be published in English. It doesn't really matter.
If anyone will cause an apocalypse it is probably president Trump (nuclear,
climate, or otherwise).Cheers,Jochen

Everything she knows... Well, there are at least 2 ways I disagree:1) Any
ecological individual serves multiple bodies at once, and2) Any one can serve
different bodies at different moments.That we serve multiples presents a
difference in degree so that there's a threshold for the number of bodies one
serves. Those that serve many many purposes (religions, saints, jobs,
whatever) may *seem* as if they serve nobody. Similarly, those of us who
switch our affiliations on a minute-by-minute basis, may *seem* not to serve
any one body. So, if your gist is that those who *seem* to not serve somebody
are really serving many bodies or rapidly switching affiliations, then I agree.
But if you insist on an artificial unification, then I disagree.
