\u201cThe difference between a nudge and a grudge is complex memory \u2013 all in your\u00a0head.\u201d<\/p><\/div>This is me,<\/a> coming on six years ago, nevermore newsworthy than now:<\/p>\n One line from Shyly’s delight:<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n A Driven who is not in charge of something important to him will be disruptive \u2013 and eventually destructive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To be rational is to be rational about everything \u2013 including oneself. I am very Driven<\/a>, and much of the advice I give amounts to Drivenism \u2013 how to work harder<\/a>, how to lose weight<\/a>, how to think and feel better<\/a> by adopting Driven habits of mind<\/a>. But I am too much aware of the dark side of the Driven state of mind addressed in that quote: Leadership is the amplification of one man’s will, and, accordingly, Driven people build amazingly well \u2013 but they also destroy amazingly well.<\/p>\n The headline of this post is a shorter statement of this very short statement:<\/p>\n 1.

If they’re not leading people toward<\/em> their own ideals, they’re leading them away<\/em> from yours \u2013 or simply leading each other to their own destruction.<\/p>\n The whole world is a Runaway Minivan by now \u2013 and if the Driven won’t drive, nobody’s going anywhere \u2013 except backwards. But while it’s good news for a family when Dad takes back the wheel, when the Driven put down a mutiny, rivers run red.<\/p>\n The Hellenism of the Hoplite Greeks creates peace by being continuously prepared for war. But the foreign policy of the ancient Greeks and Romans \u2013 still very much the foreign policy of The West \u2013 consists of negligence punctuated by exterminations. Multiculturalism is Act I in a story for which Monoculturalism is Act III.<\/p>\n If you want to avoid the extermination of the people the suddenly-diligent West will exhort you to kill, share Hoplite civilization now<\/em><\/a>, by your affectionate displays.
