Socrates had it that, if you knew what was good for you, you’d do it. And Jesus prayed that those who were crucifying him be forgiven, “for they know not what they do.”

September 12, 2026Seek truth, develop capacities
September 5, 2026& accumulate power
including net assets (-liabilities)
& serve those whose good will
includes the courage to discriminate
between others who give what’s needed
& those, mighty or weak
& frankly or cunningly or self-deceivingly
net taking whatever they can get
from whoever can’t prevent it.

I Have Been Sequestered
September 4, 2026by Eric Chaet
I have been sequestered
by vassals whose egos are pandered to —
sequestered with glorious ideas
with access to the greatest understanding
achieved in human time
& the most ingenious strategies —
the universe, infinity, eternity
intellects & the coalescing way
supply & demand
lust for approbation, integrity —
pretense & justice & efficacy.

Building Capacity
September 2, 2026by Eric Chaet
Most of the work is building capacity.
That’s true of the enterprise of changing the world forever for better as it is for, I suppose, every enterprise.
Building capacity at the least initial and ongoing costs, that is, costs divided by years of production at the greatest utility of what is produced. That is: the highest quality, the greatest ability to change the world forever for better one person at a time.
And building effective demand.
With the least competition.
And with the least opposition, including passive aggression — but there will be plenty of passive aggression.
And faster. Power is achievement of the most desirable effect divided by time.
So, building capacity to deliver to the greatest effective demand that which will have the greatest (world changing for the better) effect, longest and soonest.

Leader of the free world
September 2, 2026By Eric Chaet
You are the leader of the free world — if you will be. Or would you rather leave it up to those who put on the performance?
You are the leader of the free world, whatever any one thinks — if you will be. But then you have responsibilities far greater than you were taught to prepare for, & fulfill. Awesome responsibilities.
The odds are against you. But to the extent you succeed, how glorious!
I am the leader of the free world, because I will be.
I don’t like the results of what those posing as the leaders of the free world have done, do you?
I have to get to work — daunting work, but to the extent I succeed, how glorious!
