"In 1944 US Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau submitted a plan to have Germany stripped of heavy industry and turned into small farms unable to build modern factories and weapons ever again after WW2. The Allies shelved the plan as unworkable and cruel. XX years later the Germans themselves have written the Morgenthau Plan into their own statute books and called it climate justice. The spectacle is so ironic that Morgenthau himself must be laughing in his grave"

"I worked for a while in a small shop where I listened to public domain (i.e. old) audiobooks from @librivox for about 30hrs per week while working.

"1. Outside of my particular circle this book is barely known and read even less. But its one of the most important books ever written and illustrates both: - the Social Cycle Theory (societies and their historical events happen in repeating cycles of rise and fall growth and decay instead of progressing in a linear direction) - and Perennialist philosophy (there are universal truths that underlie all world religions and philosophies)"
