"Man’s status is better and higher for the very reason for which it is thought to be inferior"

Satire VI: The Decay of Feminine Virtue[edit]
Main article: Satire VI
... novi
consilia et ueteres quaecumque monetis amici,
pone seram, cohibe. sed quis custodiet ipsos
custodes, qui nunc lasciuae furta puellae
hac mercede silent? crimen commune tacetur.
prospicit hoc prudens et a illis incipit uxor.
... I am aware
of whatever counsels you old friends warn,
i.e. "throw the bolt and lock her in." But who is going to guard the
guards themselves, who now keep silent the lapses of the loose
girl – paid off in the same coin? The common crime keeps its silence.
A prudent wife looks ahead and starts with them.
—6.O29-34
c. 695 lines. For the discussion and synopsis, see Satire VI.
When the Roman poet Juvenal asked 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ' ('Who watches the watchmen? ') he was questioning the integrity of guards posted to ensure his wife's fidelity. More recently the phrase has been generalised to challenge authority, the utility of regulators, and schemes of quality assurance.11 Dec 2018
Innovation has increasingly become a key to long-run growth. Like all production, innovation must be financed, so finance is central to the innovation process. Indeed, this is why Schumpeter called the banker the “ephor” of the exchange economy (Schumpeter 1934 [1912], p. 74). For Schumpeter, the “money market” is the “headquarters of capitalism.” Yet, in recent decades, finance has retreated from serving the real economy: the financial sector serves itself, and companies in the real economy have become “financialised” to an important extent—to be discussed below.

Abstract This paper discusses the role that finance plays in promoting the capital development of the economy, with particular emphasis on the current situation of the United States and the United Kingdom. We define both “finance” and “capital development” very broadly. We begin with the observation that the financial system evolved over the postwar period, from one in which closely regulated and chartered commercial banks were dominant to one in which financial markets dominate the system. Over this period, the financial system grew rapidly relative to the nonfinancial sector, rising from about 10 percent of value added and a 10 percent share of corporate profits to 20 percent of value added and 40 percent of corporate profits in the United States. To a large degree, this was because finance, instead of financing the capital development of the economy, was financing itself. At the same time, the capital development of the economy suffered perceptibly. If we apply a broad definition—to include technological advances, rising labor productivity, public and private infrastructure, innovations, and the advance of human knowledge—the rate of growth of capacity has slowed.

BLAKE, EUROPE A PROPHECY, BREXIT OR EUROPE? ACCORDING TO WILLIAM BLAKE.
Britain’s enslavement
Tacitus explains the policy of his father-in-law, Agricola, in bringing the comforts of Roman civilization to the barbarous British:
‘His object was to accustom them to a life of peace and quiet by the provision of amenities. He, therefore, gave official assistance to the building of temples, public squares and good houses. He educated the sons of the chiefs in the liberal arts and expressed a preference for British ability as compared to the trained skills of the Gauls. The result was that instead of loathing the Latin language they became eager to speak it effectively. In the same way, our national dress came into favour and the toga was everywhere to be seen. And so the population was gradually led into the demoralizing temptation of arcades, baths and sumptuous banquets. The unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as ‘civilization’, when in fact they were only a feature of their enslavement.’
Tacitus Agricola chapter 21, translated by H. Mattingly, Penguin 1948, 1973

alis…mihi uidetur, rex, vita hominum praesens in terris, ad conparationem eius, quod nobis incertum est, temporis, quale cum te residente ad caenam cum ducibus ac ministris tuis tempore brumali, accenso quidem foco in medio, et calido effecto caenaculo, furentibus autem foris per omnia turbinibus hiemalium pluviarum vel nivium, adveniens unus passeium domum citissime pervolaverit; qui cum per unum ostium ingrediens, mox per aliud exierit. Ipso quidem tempore, quo intus est, hiemis tempestate non tangitur, sed tamen parvissimo spatio serenitatis ad momentum excurso, mox de hieme in hiemem regrediens, tuis oculis elabitur. Ita haec vita hominum ad modicum apparet; quid autem sequatur, quidue praecesserit, prorsus ignoramus. Unde si haec nova doctrina certius aliquid attulit, merito esse sequenda videtur.
Translation: The present life of man, O king, seems to me, in comparison of that time which is unknown to us, like to the swift flight of a sparrow through the room wherein you sit at supper in winter, with your commanders and ministers, and a good fire in the midst, whilst the storms of rain and snow prevail abroad; the sparrow, I say, flying in at one door, and immediately out at another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry storm; but after a short space of fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, into the dark winter from which he had emerged. So this life of man appears for a short space, but of what went before, or what is to follow, we are utterly ignorant. If therefore, this new doctrine contains something more certain, it seems justly to deserve to be followed.
Book II, chapter 13
This, Bede tells us, was the advice given to Edwin, King of Northumbria by one of his chief men, at a meeting where the king proposed that he and his followers should convert to Christianity. It followed a speech by the chief priest Coifi, who also spoke in favour of conversion.

BREXIT SMEXIT, WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE FEELIN THE BERN AND THE UK REFERENDUM ON EU IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE IN OR OUT.
(3.1) “YOU HAVE FOUND OUT HOW MUCH FREEDOM DIFFERS FROM SLAVERY THROUGH REAL EXPERIENCES, SO THAT, EVEN IF EARLIER SOME OF YOU, THROUGH IGNORANCE OF WHAT WAS SUPERIOR, WERE TRICKED BY THE TEMPTING PROMISES OF THE ROMANS, YOU NOW, HAVING TRIED BOTH, HAVE LEARNED HOW GREAT A MISTAKE YOU MADE IN PREFERRING AN IMPORTED TYRANNY TO YOUR ANCIENT WAY OF LIFE, AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PENURY WITHOUT A MASTER SURPASSES WEALTH AS A SLAVE. (2) FOR WHAT OF THE MOST SHAMEFUL, THE MOST DISTRESSING SORT HAVE WE NOT EXPERIENCED SINCE THESE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEMSELVES TO BRITAIN? HAVE WE NOT BEEN ROBBED ENTIRELY OF MOST OF OUR GREATEST POSSESSIONS, AND DO WE NOT PAY TAXES ON THE REST?(3) BESIDES PASTURING AND FARMING FOR THEM, DO WE NOT PAY YEARLY TRIBUTE FOR OUR OWN BODIES? BY HOW MUCH WOULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER TO BE SOLD ONCE AND FOR ALL, RATHER THAN TO BE HELD RANSOM EACH YEAR WITH THE EMPTY TITLES OF FREEDOM? BY HOW MUCH WOULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER TO BE SLAIN AND DIE THAN TO ENDURE WHILE SUBJECT TO A HEAD TAX? AND YET WHY DID I SAY THIS? (4) FOR, AMONG THEM NOT EVEN DYING IS SCOT-FREE, BUT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE PAY EVEN FOR OUR DEAD; WITH OTHER PEOPLE, DEATH FREES EVEN THOSE WHO ARE ENSLAVED, BUT WITH THE ROMANS ALONE THE DEAD LIVE ON FOR GAIN. (5) AND WHY IS IT THAT, EVEN THOUGH NONE OF US HAS MONEY (FOR HOW WOULD WE GET IT, AND FROM WHERE?), WE ARE SOLD AND STRIPPED LIKE VICTIMS OF A HOMICIDE? AND WHY SHOULD THEY BE MODERATE IN THE TIME TO COME, WHEN THEY HAVE TREATED US IN THIS FASHION IMMEDIATELY, AND WHEN ALL MEN TREAT EVEN NEWLY CAUGHT BEASTS WELL?(4.1) “TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE EVILS, AS SOME OF US ENTRUSTED THEM TO SET FOOT ON THE ISLAND TO BEGIN WITH, AND DID NOT IMME-DIATELY DRIVE THEM OFF, AS WE DID UNDER THE FAMOUS JULIUS CAESAR; AND WE DID NOT, AS WE DID WITH BOTH
AUGUSTUS AND GAIUS CALIGULA, MAKE AN ATTEMPT AT A FORMIDABLE VOYAGE. (2) THUS, THOUGH WE INHABIT SOLARGE AN ISLAND—RATHER A CONTINENT SURROUNDED BY WATER—AND THOUGH WE HAVE OUR OWN WORLD AND ARE CUT OFF BY THE OCEAN FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT WE HAVE BEEN BELIEVED TO INHABIT ANOTHER LAND AND SKY, AND EVEN SOME OF THE WISEST MEN HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY KNOWN OUR NAME ACCURATELY, WE HAVE BEEN DISDAINED AND TRAMPLED ON BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING OTHER THAN GREED. (3) BUT ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT DONE THE PROPER THINGS BEFOREHAND, LET US, MY COUNTRYMEN AND FRIENDS AND KINSMEN (FOR I CONSIDER YOU KINSMEN, SINCE YOU INHABIT ONE ISLAND AND ARE CALLED BY A COMMON NAME), DO THEM NOW, SO THAT WE MAY LEAVE BEHIND TO OUR CHILDREN BOTH THE NAME AND REALITY OF FREEDOM, WHILE WE STILL REMEMBER IT. FOR IF WE UTTERLY FORGET OUR NATURAL STATE OF HAPPINESS, WHAT WILL OUR CHILDREN DO, NURSED IN SLAVERY?(5.1) “I DO NOT SAY THESE THINGS SO THAT YOU WILL HATE YOUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES (FOR YOU HAVE HATED THEM), NOR SO THAT YOU WILL FEAR WHAT IS TO COME (FOR YOU HAVE FEARED IT), BUT SO THAT I MAY LAUD YOU, BECAUSEYOU HAVE BY YOURSELVES CHOSEN ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS, AND THANK YOU FOR READILY WORKING TOGETHER WITH ME AND EACH OTHER. DO NOT AT ALL FEAR THE ROMANS; (2)FOR THEY ARE NEITHER MORE NUMEROUS THAN WE NOR MORE BRAVE. AND THE PROOF IS THAT THEY ARE COVERED WITH HELMETS AND BREASTPLATES AND GREAVES AND BESIDES PREPARED WITH STOCKADES AND WALLS AND TRENCHES SO AS NOT TO SUFFER FROM AN ATTACK OF THE ENEMY. FOR THEY ARE OVERPOWERED BY FEARS, UNLIKE US, WHO ACT OF FHANDEDLY. (3) WE TRULY ENJOY SUCH AN ABUNDANCE OF BRAVERY THAT WE CONSIDER OUR TENTS MORE SECURE THAN THEIR WALLS AND OUR SHIELDS FAR MORE SUFFICIENT THAN THEIR FULL SUITS OF ARMOR. AS SUCH, OVERPOWER-ING THEM, WE CAPTURE THEM, AND OVERPOWERED, WE FLEE, AND IF WE DECIDE TO WITHDRAW SOMEWHERE, WE SLINK AWAY AND HIDE IN SUCH MARSHES AND HILLS THAT WE CAN’T BE FOUND OR SEIZED; (4) BUT THE ROMANS, BECAUSE OF THEIR HEAVY ARMOR, ARE NEITHER ABLE TO CHASE ANYONE NOR TO FLEE, AND IF THEY EVER RUN AWAY, THEY FLEE TO APPOINTED PLACES, AND ARE ENCLOSED THEREAS IF TRAPPED. (5) AND IN THESE RESPECTS THEY ARE BY FAR INFERIOR TO US: THEY CAN ALSO NOT ENDURE HUNGER,THIRST, COLD, OR HEAT AS WE CAN, BUT REQUIRING SHADE, SHELTER, AND BREAD, THEY NEED WINE AND OIL, AND IF ANY OF THESE THINGS RUNS DRY, THEY PERISH; FOR US, ALL GRASSES AND ROOTS SERVE AS BREAD, ALL LIQUIDS SERVE AS
OIL, ALL WATER SERVES AS WINE, AND ALL TREES SERVE AS A HOUSE. (6) VERILY, THESE LANDS ARE FAMILIAR TO US AND OUR ALLIES, BUT ARE UNKNOWN AND ADVERSE TO THEM; AND WE SWIM THE RIVERS NAKED, WHEREAS THEY CANNOT GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THEM EASILY WITH BOATS. BUT LET US GO AGAINST THEM TRUSTING IN GOOD FORTUNE. LET US SHOW THEM THAT THEY ARE HARES AND FOXES ATTEMPTING TO RULE OVER DOGS AND WOLVES.”(6.1)
HAVING SAID THESE THINGS, EMPLOYING SOME KIND OF DIVINATION, SHE LET A HARE ESCAPE FROM A FOLD OF HER DRESS, AND WHEN IT RAN IN AN AUSPICIOUS DIRECTION,THE WHOLE MULTITUDE SHOUTED OUT WITH DELIGHT, AND BOUDICA, LIFTING HER HAND TOWARD THE SKY, SAID, (2)
“I GIVE THANKS TO YOU, ANDRASTE, AND I CALL UPON YOU AS A WOMAN TO A WOMAN, AS ONE WHO DOES NOT RULE OVER BURDEN-BEARING EGYPTIANS AS NITOCRIS, OR OVER THE TRADESMEN ASSYRIANS AS SEMIRAMIS (FOR EVEN WE HAVE ALREADY LEARNED THESE THINGS FROM THE ROMANS),(3) OR OVER THE ROMANS THEMSELVES, AS DID MESSALINA, THEN AGRIPPINA, AND NOW NERO (FOR THOUGH HE HAS THE NAME OF A MAN, HE IS IN FACT A WOMAN, AS ONE CAN TELL FROM HIS SINGING, HIS LYRE PLAYING, AND HIS GROOMING);RATHER, I RULE OVER THE BRITONS, WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO FARM OR PRACTICE A TRADE, BUT HAVE LEARNED HOW TO BE CONSUMMATE FIGHTERS, AND CONSIDER ALL THINGS COM-MON—INCLUDING CHILDREN AND WIVES—AND AS A RESULT THE WOMEN HAVE THE SAME VALOR AS MEN. (4) RULING OVER SUCH MEN AND WOMEN, THEN, I BOTH PRAY TO YOU AND ASK FOR VICTORY, SAFETY, AND FREEDOM AGAINST IN-SOLENT, UNJUST, INSATIATE, AND PROFANE MEN—IF, AT ANY RATE, ONE SHOULD EVEN CALL PEOPLE MEN WHO BATHE INWARM WATER, EAT ARTIFICIAL DAINTIES, IMBIBE UNMIXED WINE, ANOINT THEMSELVES WITH MYRRH, SLEEP ON SOFT BEDS WITH BOYS—EVEN ONES PAST THEIR PRIME—AND ARE SLAVES TO A BAD LYRE-PLAYER. (5) TRULY MAY MS.DOMITIA-NERO NO LONGER RULE OVER US, BUT LET THAT SINGING GIRL BE LORD OVER THE ROMANS, FOR SURELY THEY ARE DESERVING OF BEING SLAVES TO SUCH A WOMAN, SINCE THEY HAVE ALREADY PUT UP WITH HER PLAYING THE TYRANT FOR SO LONG; BUT, MISTRESS [SC.

SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND, THE FAT LADY WILL SING HER SONG.
In response to the current crisis of COVID-19, I compiled a comprehensive video essay that delves into various topics ranging from literature, history, philosophy, and beyond. The essay is a culmination of thoughts and reflections on a wide array of subjects, providing a thought-provoking exploration of ideas.
The essay begins with a reference to Henry Moore's introduction to Alexander Pope's "Essay on Man," emphasizing the importance of letting the writer's spirit and ideas come into contact with the reader's mind. It stresses the significance of receptive reading as a precursor to true judgment and understanding of the writer's work.
Moving on, the essay touches upon the documentary "The Last Druid," which sheds light on the Old Gaelic Order and its last member, Ben McBrady. The documentary offers insights into lost knowledge and ancient orders, providing a fascinating perspective on historical and spiritual matters.
The discussion then delves into the concept of telepathy and its role in communication, drawing connections to the works of H.G. Wells. The idea of communicating thoughts before they are articulated in words is explored, adding depth to the exploration of human connection and understanding.
The essay further explores the Pelagian controversy, highlighting the disputation between Pelagius and Saint Augustine. This leads to a discussion on the evolution of ecclesiastical religion and its impact on historical narratives.
The narrative then delves into linguistic concepts, such as language as a byproduct of thought and the idea of knowledge residing beyond the confines of individual minds. This leads to an exploration of Rupert Sheldrake's concept of morphic resonance, offering a unique perspective on the nature of knowledge and communication.
The essay then delves into the documentary "Sacred Weeds" by Andrew Sherratt, which explores ancient sites and neglected knowledge. It offers a captivating glimpse into mystical and historical elements often overlooked by mainstream academia.
The discussion then transitions to m poem titled "Globalization Entangled," which delves into political economy, national governance, and global governance. It provides a multifaceted exploration of societal structures and their implications.
The essay also delves into various philosophical timelines, including Eastern philosophy, Western philosophy, and the history of metals. These timelines offer a comprehensive overview of the evolution of thought and human civilization.
A significant portion of the essay is dedicated to the exploration of creativity, critical thinking, and the importance of leisure in fostering authentic expression. It emphasizes the value of idle hands in stimulating active minds and creative endeavors.
Throughout the essay, there is an underlying theme of seeking deeper understanding and tapping into collective consciousness. It encourages readers to explore diverse perspectives, challenge established norms, and embrace creativity as a means of personal and societal growth.
In conclusion, this video essay serves as a thought-provoking journey through a myriad of topics, inviting readers to engage with complex ideas and explore the interconnectedness of knowledge, history, and human experience. It encourages critical thinking, reflection, and an appreciation for the depth and diversity of human thought.

We must now take precautions to prevent you from being embarrassed by something in which the ignorant majority is at fault for lack of proper consideration, and so from supposing with them, that man has not been created truly good simply because he is able to do evil. … If you reconsider this matter carefully and force your mind to apply a more acute understanding to it, it will be revealed to you that man’s status is better and higher for the very reason for which it is thought to be inferior: it is on this choice between two ways, on this freedom to choose either alternative, that the glory of the rational mind is based, it is in this that the whole honor of our nature consists, it is from this that its dignity is derived.
Pelagius
Pelagius (c. 390-418) was an Irish or British ascetic moralist, who became well known throughout the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity. He was declared a heretic by the Council of Carthage. His doctrine became known as Pelagianism.

QUEUE HERE. SYSYPHUS, QUE OF CUES, CUE QUE, COUP DE QUE.
Sisyphus pushed his boulder,
The path smooth both ways
The same incline repeated
Parmenides like determination.
—
Prometheus chained over the hill
Willing that Sisyphus may succeed
panta rhei, alike to his own flame.
Both legends for deaf ears.
—
Heraclitus his ebb and flow
Crying metaphors to deaf masses
Sobbing similes to Blind tyranny
Calvary the summit to that bluff.
—
Maimonides saw each contradiction
Each species of deafness, Loud
Each species of blindness, Dark
All no less perplexed than the next.
—
Yet another Sisyphus rolls
Yet another Prometheus reveals
Yet another Heraclitus cry’s
Yet another Maimonides interprets
—-
Ancient and modern queuing
Missed cues and repeated lines
A dialogue of the divine comedy
Stockaded in linguistic prison walls.
—-
Plus ca change plus ca meme chose.
