having the right people in the right rooms with the right other people is
critical for success.
The most rational people tend to be the best experts - they know the how and
the why.
those of faith, belief, and passion are more often the visionaries - the ones
who are driving a boat.
advised, of course, by the rational types.
the reason is that those who are most devoted to their principles will most
often follow their principles - meaning you should follow and support the
people who most ardently believe the things that you do. Because they will make
decisions that align with what you believe in.
of course, the faithful can fall into zealotry. they can develop magical
thinking, or rationalizations that are not grounded in reality. it's important
to ground them, to guide their perspective toward the real-life problems, and
not the imagined ones. because the imagination of a visionary looking out
toward the horizon will see farther than those who are sure-footed-ly looking
at the ground in front of them.

hi everyone it's wednesday night which means it's time for my weekly Dominions
6 strategy podcast - you probably recognize this as something I do weekly so
you're probably not paying too much attention because it's more of the same
stuff which I've been doing for a while that you probably don't have to worry
about because if --- anyways you can listen to it at the link below: or here's
some highlights:
it's important to take the initiative, because those with the initiative have
the ability to determine the scope and nature of the engagement of their foe,
meaning they can tailor the contest to their strengths rather than that of
their enemies
it's important to strike at a foe's flanks, but when paired with the initiative
this means you'll have to identify a strategy that would work well, maximize
it, and develop a counter-plan for the enemy's counter-plan that they apply to
your main strategy. The winner has TWO total strategies, the second of which
addresses your foe's contestation of your main strategy.

to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front
of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at anything else
besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
without painful eye contact.
cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.
most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
them otherwise.

I am not asleep. But you cannot expect a strategist to act based on information
she doesn't have.
