If you are going to do art, be like Fish. Creative and snarky and outrageous and completely original
If you are going to do politics, study strategy and bullshit techniques and manipulation and strategy and power and negotiations and political warfare.
If you are going to do history, read a 1000 books from different perspectives and study great historians and listen to what they say about predicting the future and listen to the myriad ways in which human behavior over time is so shocking and surprising and study war and peace between people groups
And if you are going to go to war, become a military strategist and don’t just call military genius insane and stupid. Unless you want to become a pacifist. Pacifism is a bit like Quaker ideology until your group quietly disappears.
If you are going to become safe, study how strong deterrence works
Otherwise, you’ll live uneducated and mired in bullshit
