Why are there so many Holocaust museums scattered around the world?
Today I'm joined by Daniel Clancy -- aka 03OG -- to discuss political power, the difference between "power" and "influence," and the strange role of Israel in our political landscape. Starting from what got us both into the military as teenagers, we wind up in the domain of political philosophy more broadly, from Plato and Nietzsche to Machiavelli and Mosca to Herzel and Biden; from Dante's de Monarchia to the Balfour Declaration and the October 7th attack.
Our conclusion to the general question of power is a hopeful (but far from optimistic) kind of message for other young men who may be considering something like joining the military... but the takeaways go far beyond (perhaps begin far beyond) teenagers, and might be useful -- or, at the very least, entertaining -- to people of all ages over 30.
