The wise man shook his head and smiled.

'It is men,' he called out, 'who corrupt women; and everything that women lack should be atoned for and improved in men - for man creates for himself the ideal of woman, and woman moulds herself according to this ideal.'

'You are too tenderhearted towards women,' said one of the bystanders, 'you do not know them.'

The wise man answered: 'Man's attribute is will, woman's attribute is willingness - such is the law of the sexes, verily! A hard law for woman! All human beings are innocent of their existence, women, however, are doubly innocent; who could have enough salve and gentleness for them!'

'What about salve! What about gentleness!' called out another person in the crowd, 'we must educate women better!'

'We must educate men better,' said the wise man, and made a sign to the youth to follow him.

The youth, however, did not follow him."

"All warfare is based primarily on deception of an enemy. Fighting on a battlefield is the most primitive way of making war. There is no art higher than to destroy your enemy without a fight by subverting anything of value in your enemy's country."

"Rules of Revolution"

"1. Corrupt the young, get them interested in sex, take them away from religion. Make them superficial and enfeebled.

2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial issues of no importance.

3. Destroy people’s faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule and disgrace.

4. Always preach democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

5. By encouraging government extravagances, destroy its credit, produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government towards such disorders."

- Tomas Schuman (post-KGB-defection Yuri Bezmenov), "Love Letter to America" [1]

An effective way to prepare a child (newcomer to language) for the timeless bombardment of foreign ideological subterfuge is by telling a simple story of how paradise was lost [2] because the soothsayer targets the spirit of the life-affirming (compassionate) component of the city-state as the most direct path to that which provides its strength. The taste of judgement is forbidden because you will then spend your days (as an agitated, less productive civilian being physically protected by an authority) wondering about how local conditions should be changed according to your personal opinions&comfort which means you have rejected the requirement of loyalty&obedience. At this point you are not worth being provided for since you become the source of expensive internal convulsions, and are therefore cast back out into the unorganized chaos for which need of the nation-state arose. In the same breath, through this story-telling, you elevate the ideals of the assignment of order&purpose, creation, cooperation, and organization as central tenets for the foundation of civilization.

If you cry wolf and agitate the masses with fear, then you gain free advertising for a "new" search engine because the spin of the "journalist" requires anxiety to circulate organically.

"A nation of thirty millions of people, had been for ten years agitated by the most terrible convulsions... Conflagrations had laid the palaces of the wealthy in ruins, and the green lawns where their children had played, had been crimsoned with the blood of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters.

A gigantic system of robbery had seized upon houses and lands and every species of property and had turned thousands of the opulent out into destitution, beggary, and death. Pollution had been legalized by the voice of God-defying lust, and France, la belle France, had been converted into a disgusting warehouse of infamy. Law, with suicidal hand, had destroyed itself, and the decisions of the legislature swayed to and fro, in accordance with the hideous clamors of the mob. The guillotine, with gutters ever clotted with human gore, was the only argument which anarchy condescended to use. Effectually it silenced every remonstrating tongue.

Constitution after constitution had risen, like mushrooms, in a night, and like mushrooms had perished in a day. Civil war was raging with bloodhound fury in France, Monarchists and Jacobins grappling each other infuriate with despair. The allied kings of Europe, who by their alliance had fanned these flames of rage and ruin, were gazing with terror upon the portentous prodigy, and were surrounding France with their navies and their armies. The people had been enslaved for centuries by the king and the nobles. Their oppression had been execrable, and it had become absolutely unendurable. 'We, the millions,' they exclaimed in their rage, 'will no longer minister to your voluptuousness, and pride, and lust.'

'You shall, you insolent dogs,' exclaimed kings and nobles, 'we heed not your barking.'

'You shall,' reiterated the Pope, in the portentous thunderings of the Vatican. 'You shall', came echoed back from the palaces of Vienna, from the dome of the Kremlin, from the seraglio of the Turk, and, in tones deeper, stronger, more resolute, from constitutional, liberty-loving, happy England.

Then was France a volcano, and its lava-streams deluged Europe. The people were desperate. In the blind fury of their frenzied self-defense they lost all consideration. The castles of the nobles were but the monuments of past taxation and servitude. With yells of hatred the infuriated populace razed them to the ground. The palaces of the kings, where, for uncounted centuries, dissolute monarchs had reveled in enervating and heaven-forbidden pleasures, were but national badges of the bondage of the people... At one bound France had passed from despotism to anarchy. The kingly tyrant, with golden crown and iron sceptre, surrounded by wealthy nobles and dissolute beauties, had disappeared, and a many-headed monster, rapacious and blood-thirsty, vulgar and revolting, had emerged from mines and workshops and the cellars of vice and penury, like one of the spectres of fairy tales to fill his place. France had passed from Monarchy, not to healthy Republicanism, but to Jacobinism, to the reign of the mob. Napoleon utterly abhorred the tyranny of the king. He also utterly abhorred the despotism of vulgar, violent, sanguinary Jacobin misrule. The latter he regarded with even deeper repugnance than the former.

'I frankly confess,' said Napoleon, again and again, "that I must choose between Bourbon oppression, and mob violence, I infinitely prefer the former.'

... He had two foes to encounter, each formidable, the royalists of combined Europe and the mob of Paris. The quiet and undoubting self-confidence with which he entered upon this enterprise, is one of the most remarkable events in the whole of his extraordinary career. He took with him no armies to hew down opposition. He engaged in no deep-laid and wide-spread conspiracy. Relying upon the energies of his own mind, and upon the sympathies of the great mass of the people, he went alone, with but one or two companions, to whom he revealed not his thoughts, to gather into his hands the scattered reins of power. Never did he encounter more fearful peril. The cruisers of England, Russia, Turkey, of allied Europe in arms against France, thronged the Mediterranean. How could he hope to escape them? The guillotine was red with blood. Every one who had dared to oppose the mob had perished upon it. How could Napoleon venture, single-handed, to beard this terrible lion in his den?"

- John Stevens Cabot Abbott, "Napoleon Bonaparte" (1855)

To be born at the beginning of the longest cumulative period of R&R [0] since the beginning of recorded history is to instinctually rear children (policy influence) with a value system that revolves around "comfort" (a Permobil factory is coincidentally located next to my Amazon alma mater BNA2 [1]).

The Greatest Generation [2] survived the turmoil of their youth (fighting an "enemy" as it was reacting to stagnant, lifeless neighbors) and after becoming investor class (age 60-90), they completed their magnum opus by bringing back [3] the first extralunar beings [4] (equipment built by employing the hands/ingenuity/ambition of the youthful, inspired Boomer Generation).

To have many children and make them build spaceships is why global encyclopedias [still] call you "the Greatest".

The recent conscription of Mr. Cruise to showcase air superiority is an insight tactically granted at the behest of American government as a reaction to international upheaval. A reminder. After the success of "Star Wars", Mr. Ford fulfilled a similar role in a film about infrastructure sabotage (hydroelectric dam and bridge - Force 10 from Navarone).

I always appreciated the Top Gun franchise because there are many scenes showing a large group of people enjoying each other's company.

Reminds me of Eli Whitney seeing a cat defeather a chicken while trying to pull it through a fence, inspiring the cotton gin (learn from nature). Wasn't the original Starlite also derived from edible matter [0]?

They started with the bread because of its spongey texture (fine, compacted flour expanding as yeast yields gas) but arrived at the egg white protein structure which is less apparent to the naked eye (the light color implies low density solid? Polar bears appear white but hair is clear, which means more empty space thus insulated?).

> Egg whites are a complex system of almost pure protein that—when freeze-dried and heated to 900 degrees Celsius in an environment without oxygen—create a structure of interconnected strands of carbon fibers and sheets of graphene.

I wonder if this rapid temperature change is embrittling the structure (squeeze with cold then stretch with heat) causing it to fragment into the "two dimensional" graphene sheets after being depleted of everything but the carbon. But the carbon fiber protein strands are cylindrical - how is this leading to flat one-atom thick sheets? Perhaps this rapid temperature gain to a specific 900C is akin to the specific resonant frequency that will shatter the crystalline structure of glass.
