Plato's parody of war propaganda in the Menexenus is so much better than today's real war propaganda, that it is almost inspiring.

Pace @elonmusk, we are not brains in vats. The sooner we remember this, and restructure our lives and institutions in accordance with the truth that we are psychosomatic unities, the sooner we can repair (or prevent) the dehumanizing damages wrought by tech addiction.

Spengler:
"Neither Iran nor the US has good choices here. [...] It seems clear that Iran was taken aback by the ferocity of America’s response to the embassy attack. Iran now has to devise a response whose outcome is extremely difficult to calculate."

Well, here is Codevilla himself. He is not impressed.

Thus far, the assassination of Soleimani & broader campaign against PMF seems much closer to Codevilla's post-9/11 recommendation—swift, retributive punishment of the enemy's ruling class to restore honor/fear and deter further attacks—than the War on Terror as waged since 2001. twitter.com/ClaremontInst/…

Thanks! I’ll check it out.
Working on a book on the modern eclipse and contemporary revival of liberal education; for now I just have some popular essays.

...to remake elite education we would do well to look to the tradition of liberal education that once set the tone in our colonies and early republic and that still flourishes [in nooks and crannies] today...," writes @pleonidasp

I’m going to stop replying after this, but for now: it’s entirely possible to recognize that someone is a monster, and to be agnostic about the wisdom of killing that monster in a given set of circumstances. There’s a long American tradition of doing so. My jury is still out.

Insofar as the American people have spoken on this topic—which they have only fitfully because our leaders have masterfully avoided political deliberation about foreign policy for decades—they have consistently said: “Why should we ‘stay in the Middle East,’ whatever that means?” pic.twitter.com/Z4U7ABayYq

Moreover, neither I nor the original source are downplaying its significance. Its significance is stated. I have no idea whether the broader effects of this will be for good or for ill.

When was the last time a single drone strike (or its technologically-primitive equivalent) three years into a presidency could be described as that president’s “most significant use of military force to date”? pic.twitter.com/OtnUC5Ade5
