He managed to troll you into responding, five months after he posted.

"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is
that they invent us; we are their creatures,
shaped by their hard, defining edges. When
soldiers take their oath they are given a coin,
an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch.
Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance
of the special duties and burdens of military
life--they are soldiers from that moment, though
they may know nothing of the management of arms.
I did not know that then, but it is a profound
mistake to believe that we must know of such things
to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so
is to believe in the most debased and superstitious
kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has
faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational
people know that things act of themselves or not at
all."

A mere thousand years from now there won't be any difference at all.
