done

i'm done.

on feb 14 - i thought my goal was "focus - civ collapse vs civ restore"

but no more.

Thucydides documents The Peloponnesian War and human nature.

Civilization collapse and civil war is inevitable - what I might be able to do is reduce - not eliminate the human suffering that is the inevitable result of the 10 horsemen of the apocalypse.

my duty is self, family, community, city, and so on
