WHICH IS MOST POWERFUL: A GUN, A PENCIL, OR A STACK OF MONEY:

It’s not a question of the power of the instrument but the talent that is required to use the instrument to achieve change at scale.

ARMS: You can assassinate a key political figure, or start a word war, vs rob a liquor store or kill someone you are in a dispute with.

WRITING: You can write the an inquiry into human understanding, critique of pure reason, paine’s common sense, the communist manifesto, or the works of lenin and trotsky – or you can write profusely and achieve nothing because no one reads it, because it has no *solution* value to them.

MONEY: You can use money to destroy a country (financialism), fund a revolution (soros), and initiate warfare (buy votes to obtain political ends), or you can achieve nothing because what you are attempting to do *is not of interest to people*.

The question is not the tool but the talent to use it.
