It's a travesty in my opinion that the comment section of this post is empty. Call me old-school, but I'll take comment sections over notes or social media any day. Comment sections are a clear shared experience, while notes depend on the algorithm.

Damn the visibility, I want my third space under the footer, and I don't like it when it's paywalled (as understandable as that is).

this is funny. you want well rounded moral people to lead...but they don't form those kinds of people in business schools, and isn't that where right wingers predominately go to college? I hear the right bashing the liberal arts incessantly...then sometimes praising the founding fathers, who were, in some decent part, liberal arts enlightenment era intellectuals.

Also I just watched a video of yours from a conference in 2022 which was such complete nonsense I sought you ought to scold you for your ignorance and or dishonesty.

You say, and this is a paraphrase, that we on the left KNOW our ideas don't work, and so we pursue leftism either for selfish self interest or out of self delusion.

What a bunch of poppycock. Are you really that clueless David Greene? You talk so much about all the leftists you grew up with. Did none of them mention medicare for all? the green new deal? taxpayer subsidized secondary education? weeks of paid vacation? a year of paid maternity leave?

When I was growing up the right obsessed over economics. Now, yall rarely touch the subject. Let me turn your accusation around and sling it back at you: you KNOW right wing supply side economics is a scam that concentrates wealth at the top...but you continue pursuing it either for your own selfish interest or because you are deluded and ignorant.

Have a nice day.

The biggest issue with our modern rulers is that they are not apt to be rulers. They don’t have the qualities of Rulers. Nerds, Geeks, Hipsters, etc. are cultures not built around qualities that make for good rulers, and when you inadvertently flanderize yourself into one of these cultures you become culturally inapt to rule.

We all are ruled, but who are we ruled by? Why be ruled by what is weak, when you can be ruled by what is strong? Religion, the Christian religion in my prerogative, gives us our strong ruler. And here on earth we need to rebuild culture that produces leaders and rulers, not winers and weaklings.
