( I owe every generation of the development of my thought to a critic who would not let me leave a problem unanswered. And I remember all of their/your names. )

THE SERVANT OF THE NATION: KNIGHT
The Oath is a “Sh-t Test”.
The problem isn’t taking the oath.
It’s finding insurers who will kill you if you void it.

All our troubles spring from either the ignorance that prevents us from plain clear cut language, or the wilful misuse of language for the purpose of suggestion, deception, and fraud.

The Virtues that are not false, cause transcendence, not acquiescence.
If you claim a false virtue you just claim that you are weak – You don’t claim a virtue.
So don’t.
Just state that you can only transcend so far, because you are weak.
Weakness is only a problem if you prohibit the transcendence of others.
If you do so, then you are also a parasite, and therefore not virtuous.
It’s not complicated.

I cannot advocate a restoration of Stoicism since this would lead to unscientific and feminine interpretations of very limited ancient texts.
I can however, advocate it’s restatement in entirely ratio-scientific terms.

As a general rule of mutual misunderstanding, a russian cannot conceive of a protestant mind’s trust, and it is very difficult for a protestant to conceive of a russian minds total absence of it.

The more criticism one attracts, the more publicity one obtains. The more public
The more criticism one attracts, the more publicity one obtains. The more publicity the bigger the audience. The bigger the audience the more influence. The more influence the more power.
Generally speaking, most idiots stumble and attract more publicity than the content that they offer can satisfy the wants of new eyes.
And the opportunity of first impression is wasted.
All young entrepreneurs try to go to market too early.
Same thing for radicals.
