The Three Pillars of Gor

Effectively understanding the Gorean mindset requires a comprehension of the differences between Gorean society and Earth society. Civilized Gorean society has three primary societal institutions that differ from most of Earth. By civilized Gor, I mean the cities, towns and villages of Gor. It does not include the barbaric lands of such people as the Torvaldslanders, the Wagon Peoples, the Red Savages, or the Red Hunters. These three differences permeate Gorean society and make it a vastly different world from Earth. They are not the only differences but they are very important matters and may be difficult for Earth people to understand.
These three pillars of civilized Gor are the Home Stone, Caste System and Slavery. Earth has nothing comparable to the concept of the Home Stone. The patriotism of a nation of Earth to its flag, or other national symbol, is a pale comparison to the concept of the Home Stone. India is one of the last bastions on Earth with a caste system though it is still radically different from the system used on Gor. Slavery exists in some corners of Earth but nowhere even close to the nature and extent as it exists on Gor. Thus, without further explanation, one may not possess an adequate foundation to truly grasp the nature of these Gorean institutions.
