After watching last night on Netflix a rehearsal of the Waco events of 93, the Branch Dravidian drama and the deep insights it gives into the soul of white America, its political and religious dimensions and how they intertwine, I thought again to highlight an article Prophecy 2 written several years ago, and its relevance … More Crossing the line

While essential preparation for good leadership includes not just thorough familiarity with, but also habituation of the laws, customs, principles and traditions that cause community to cohere; life like music is often complex, subject to change of time and season. Regulation, while necessary, is no simple dance. The power to dismiss dissent is older than … More The Power of Rhythm / The Art of Rule

Each of these blogposts is generally crammed with information. Most of what I hope will be contemplated is the stuff mentioned in passing, usually just a hyperlink (highlighted in red) indicates the material that probably inspired whatever brief commentary is made during the post. I mentioned recently Jacob Collier’s I harm U series which launched … More Harmony 2

The Prime Minister of Peace in his dealings with the leader of the opposition, whoever he happened to be at the time, set a very high bar of decorum for his ministers to follow.
