One of the points in Luke Kemp's "Goliath's Curse", which really stuck with me:
Bronze age kings justified their rule by claiming to be descendents of the gods or being especially favored by them.
Today's billionaires use similar justification techniques by claiming to settle Mars.

In den Improferien hatte ich zwei seltsame Begegnungen.
Ich war ja auch in einem Moderationskurs, wo ich das Feedback bekam (und annahm), dass ich meine Haare zu einem Zopf binden sollte, damit man mein Gesicht sieht.
Zwei Tage später treffe ich einen Mann aus dem Kurs, der mir einen heißen Tipp gibt: Ich solle meine Haare doch so hochstecken wie die Gundula. Das würde viel pfiffiger aussehen (als das, was ich offenbar bisher tat). 1/3

A statement from the city’s health department on Monday said the outbreak, which was traced to cooling towers in buildings in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, had sickened 76 people
