Good, War Dependency, and the Warring Mind
Two world “leaders” dependent on war for personal legal reasons or bumping their poll numbers up have just started a war. There is no question these two public men should be cautious and very public about entering a war in the names of their nation. But it seems not. Yes, the enemy is very easy…

Good, Lethality and What Can’t be Unknown
What we think and how we think matters. What we think and document matters even more for what we think and document has power.
