Thirteenth Note to “Botkhana Neshin Hastam”

We go wherever the flow and the stream takes us, but where we are at the moment is eternal, existential conflict and war with China and Russia, prompted in large part by the balance of power, imperial overreach, debt and decline, corruption, criminality, and hubris inter alia. And I wish the focus and the specialization could have been art and philosophy or business and lifestyle or anything else that we’ve covered and mentioned. But we were confounded and vexed by conflict and war for almost the entire time. I am for the most part a ‘War Child’ whose biography is shaped in large part by the “Great Game” and “Cold War.” Hence, the reason for why I couldn’t focus or specialize on anything else up until now.
