You! Yes, you. Smart. Attractive. And, in fact, a real people person (1). But only the right kind of people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Successful by any standard measure but at the same time opportunistic.

What does becoming a dictator mean exactly? It means being able to manipulate people.\u00a0 A lot of people.\u00a0 It means taking advantage of their emotions.\u00a0 And in the case of politicians and aspiring totalitarians<\/a> everywhere, it means creating loyalty.

What to do?\u00a0 What to do achieving total and everlasting control?\u00a0 It\u2019s been attempted with armies and ideologies to limited effect over the centuries but not to lasting and permanent effect. You need something bigger. More widespread.\u00a0 Fear!!\u00a0 Wide-spread fear across the entire face of the planet is what you need to bend people to your will. What induces fear better than anything else?\u00a0 Thinking.\u00a0 Thinking.\u00a0 Hmm\u2026<\/p>\n

You have it!\u00a0 You got it!!!\u00a0 Disease.\u00a0 Namely, a virus.\u00a0 Of course!\u00a0 Something that can\u2019t be seen, heard, felt, or tasted. But the effects.\u00a0 Ohh\u2026the effects.\u00a0 Yeah, baby!\u00a0 Fear and panic.<\/p>\n

Tiny.\u00a0 Oh, so very tiny. \u00a0Getting into you.\u00a0 Insinuating itself into your physical being at the molecular level.\u00a0 Disease.\u00a0 Incapacitation.\u00a0 The possibility of death.<\/p>\n

(3) Narrative is a literary term that has been incorporated into public discourse by self-serving academic and media morons.\u00a0 It has no place in discussion of contemporary events.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 It presupposes a defined outcome, like the end of a short story or novel is a defined outcome.\u00a0 It is deterministic in the language of philosophy. IOW\u2026.\u201dThe End\u201d is defined as X.\u00a0 In reality, political outcomes can never be determined with any degree of certainty.\u00a0 The world is too complex.<\/p>\n

The other term in public discourse that bugs the shit out of Cracker is World-view.\u00a0 Any public figure using this term should be wearing a cap with \u201cDunce\u201d on it.\u00a0 It\u2019s the lazy man\u2019s way of saying \u201cI lack historical perspective and insight into logic, argumentation, or philosophy\u201d.<\/p>\n
