    I took an anthro course from Dr. Weatherford many years ago at Macalester college. Interesting to learn we have a shared passion for all things Mongolian.

    Great meditation to start the day=] Love the quotes. I think Sun Tzu is also an important author to read and re-read. I use two mental constructs to do my mental projecting, visioning, meditating & strategizing- the form embodied by Borges "aleph" for form (In Borges' story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion. The story traces the theme of infinity found in several of Borges' other works, such as "The Book of Sand"), and the shapelessness of "water" for formlessness. Wayne Dyer uses the water mental construct as a core part of his teachings. "Wayne Dyer Moving, Swimming, Knowing If you take a glass of water and separate it from its source - the ocean - then pour the water away from its source and ask it to sustain life, it flitters away."

      That’s just not true whatsoever there are MUCH more accurate and detailed biographies and history books out there on the Khan and the Mongol empire as a whole

    This is "literally" a conversation where we haven't even established that we all understand that the only punishment which people actually dislike is punishment for things which they haven't done (beginning with a false accusation). "A robot" would hate true things we accuse him of equally as much as false things. How can you find the phenomenon of a true accusation "unpleasant" when "biology" equipped itself for you to be faced with that phenomenon in real-time for your whole life?
    All the non-classified data is about how we, along with the Mongolians themselves, ruined the king's life/soul/etc by making him obsessed with "non-stoic things", which the sources allege was our extremely intelligent rebellion against them and the authority figures whom he installed. That's why it's hard to believe.. we're simply not smart at all. I've only ever seen us use chaos as a vitamin as if we would die without it.
    Someone asked me why being elected as a representative is relevant to biology. I said: because not only is OUR FOOD biological but our bodies, actions, reasoning, reflexes, etc are also biological (along with being correct and being incorrect). You could even argue that water is biological. I mean it pretty much is biological. I think the problem with your rhetoric is that we can biologically be born and die without being forced to monitor/measure/examine things (or try to turn other metals into gold, both metaphorically and seriously) just because of some trashy New Money "king" who thinks science doesn't breed Excellence on its own. Just look at how Ukraine is being battered. You're likely to be a certified idiot in the future if you can't win that war. Are you a conspiracy theorist or what? The "question" is whether it's the craft/trade of royalty to "Breed" loyalty in others [perhaps] through terror, or whether the craft of royalty is to have something to show others which is worthy of being seen during their lives (although I am assuming that their lives are mortal). Do you even know what we call your caste? Without your royalty's constant Theatre Of Improper Conduct (which you don't have time for) .. uh basically you're still consciously choosing to exist in order to rationalize a neverending stream of irrational, unattractive, distasteful, disgusting choices made by your dark, gene-less, "phantom royalty" who can guarantee you nothing but for chaos to kill your family (if you don't submit to annexation, it may become so bad that chaos will CONCEIVE/BIRTH your family).

    A disappointing interview in my opinion; too much Ryan Holiday not enough of Jenghis Khan, his character his experiences his leadership, his difficulties, not much curiosity on the part of his interviewer. The last third of the interview veered off onto another tangent altogether. I found the loud, intense, overly stoic obsessed Ryan irritating, and a contrast to the quiet, wise, mature perspective of Jack Weatherford. An opportunity to reveal one of the most amazing leaders in world history missed. Fortunately, there are many other more satisfying interviews with Jack on YT.

    Genghis Khan was one of the greatest warriors to ever live, but this man’s book distorts the history of the Khan and his empire

      How so? I found this video because I was contemplating on buying his book and giving it a read. Just curious about your comment.
