The danger of a growing empire is that with its growing
hubris it often outsources its security to those that don’t have at its best
interests at heart. Rome and Britain both felt prey to such a mentality.
Regardless of historical era there has never been a shortage
of spokespeople for god.
To someone motivated by ambition truth is never a premium.
The one commonality of sports pundits is their innate
ability to make wrong predictions. They do this by chronically looking backward
while driving forward.
An institution will prosper if it has enough of a talent
pool in the working body to correct for the inevitable errors of its upper
echelons.
The pitfall with political prediction is that it
cannot resist the temptation to confuse the ‘is’ for the ‘ought’
