"To understand the realities of power, whether in modern or ancient societies, is to acknowledge this gap between what elites claim they can do and what they are actually able to do." From "The Dawn of Everything" by @davidwengrow & David Graeber. It's a great, insightful read!

It's a snowy day here, positively scandinavian (sort of!), and I've been enjoying reading 'The Loki Variations' by @KarlPJohnson from @404Ink. And absolutely delighted to see citations of @Louiestowell's "The Bad God's Guide to Being Good" in the analysis of the myth of Loki! 😁

If you followed the recent libel win by @TomBurgis over "Kleptopia", see this short piece by @davidallengreen in which he points out how splendidly this futile libel suit has backfired - placing on the legal record that ENRC is, in fact, corrupt. https://davidallengreen.com/2022/03/a-libel-defeat-for-the-eurasian-natural-resources-corporation/
