Glen/Marcus/Nick sed:
"He who has the gold rules"
Yeah. I can't go along with that.
I wonder how you and I might have an rational discussion of our
difference?
Is Glen's quote above his belief ("He who has the gold _ought_ to
rule") or an proposition he is making about who ends up ruling in
practice (and thus what any individual must be prepared to do to cope
with that)?
"he who has the gold rules"
"he who has the gould ought to rule"
"in practice, he who has the gold rules"
and I riposte
"he who has the gold rules those who value gold"
Which suggests for me the negative space vaguely outlined by:
She who commands loyalty can lead those who can offer loyalty.
She who develops, cogent, compelling arguments can convince those
who are rational to support her cause.
She who speaks from the heart will be heard by those who hear from
the heart.
Gold is extremely useful for a few things, sadly many mistake it's
rarity for value, and we build a consensual reality around it's "value".
