Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something
As Time Passes, you’ll Learn about the things I think about. Whether that be Beówulf along with Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Culture. The Past, Present and Future of Warfare. The Works of Robert Greene (War, Mastery, Seduction, Human Nature, & The 48 Laws). Philosophy, notably Stoicism, Critical Thinking & Logic. Criminal Psychology, Body Language, Deduction & Observation. And lastly, every once in a while, I’ll post a short story of some insight into William Scott, PI.
Is "On War" Just Quantum Physics in Disguise?
Alright, let's talk Clausewitz. My friend recently said that trying to understand Clausewitz is like trying to understand quantum physics: nobody reallygets it. And honestly, after wrestling with "On War," I'm starting to think they're right. First off, the dude writes like he's trying to win a Nobel Prize for complicated sentences. Seriously, is it just a bad translation from 1830s German, or was Carl naturally convoluted? I even wondered if, after getting his "von" and becoming nobility, he was trying to sound more important than he was. Maybe that accounts for some of the language.
