—“The terms for God, for house, for father, mother, son, daughter, for dog and cow, for heart and tears, for axe and tree, identical in all the Indo-European idioms, are like the watchwords of soldiers. We challenge the seeming stranger; and whether he answer with the lips of a Greek, a German, or an Indian, we recognize him as one of ourselves. [Müller, “History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature,” 1859]”—

—-“I have spent the last year really working on this, have broken it down into a system that explains, in granular detail, the factors that constitute agency, limit it, etc..
And this is why we the good guys are going to win. It can be assessed and enhanced in several ways, quickly. …. and remember – agency is not simply absolute but relative.
You work to build your own tribe’s agency but you also work to undermine and shackle your competitors.
Catherine The Great’s “Pale of Settlement” was not designed to enhance the direct agency of her christian subjects but to limit the agency of the competitors. Think about that.” — James Santagata

CHINA AND RUSSIA
Their position is very much like mine: that the cancers of the west’s hedonism not spread to their societies. In that sense I envy those countries. The fact that they would, if possible, not only defend themselves from (((western))) decline, but violate every possible bit of reciprocity and return the world to it’s pre-law order, is something else.
