And in our decaying culture, excellence is not celebrated.

How is it that when Space X had a rocket launch in which a 20 STORY ROCKET BOOSTER was caught after takeoff, our media seemed to just yawn? It was mentioned briefly and then nothing.

I'm still trying to figure that out.

brilliant and weirdly agreeable though these days I seem to find most political commentaries disagreeable. This line killed me with its accuracy *”Wars begin, drift in no particular direction, and shamble to an end, replaced by new wars. The fetish for constant war is matched by the decline of warmaking institutions; war becomes an industry and a shabby habit, not a purpose-driven emergency task”*
