“I assure you from a God's Olympian perch that government is a shared myth. When the myth dies, the government dies.” — Frank Herbert, “God Emperor of Dune” Chapter 1 Tracing back into the mists of memory, further than I can follow, there has been a concerted effort by rapacious rulers to deprive the masses of their powers of discernment. Sometimes this ca…

Enlightened Gatekeeping and Elon Musk (Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi)

I had not intended to write about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict again following my related post on the broader context of war.

Raising children worthy of empires

My essay 'The rich should leave their wealth to their children, not to charity' gained hundreds of thousands of views and an overwhelmingly positive reception, for which I am grateful. The central contention of the essay was that the root cause of the twisted practice of giving away one’s children’s inheritance is a failure of parenting: the failure to …
