Yes, exactly.

Blind spots and a susceptibility to flattery and recognition.

Who knows what actually happened, but I can totally imagine Jamie Dimon saying something positive about Trump and that being enough. "He's a good guy, one of the best. So smart, so smart." And just like that, one of the worst of the establishment becomes Secty of the Treasury.

I feel my decade long foray into caring deeply about politics waning. I want to see some serious crimes be paid for, some houses on fire, and remorse in some eyes.

Beyond that, I’m getting into writings from times of transition. Post fall of Rome, thinkers like Isidore of Seville, what enabled the renaissance…

And how to live a sovereign life.

There is something soul bleeding about too much political.
