+Theorem: when you strike at a king, you must kill him. (Credit assignment: Ralph Waldo Emerson.)

+My restatement (yours may be different, but still): when you strike at the God-Empress—well, striking at the God-Empress wouldn't work.

+> If you want to change a culture, think in terms of the evolutionary aspects of it. You might be able to do it by just shaking things up and letting it slide into a new equilibrium, but this only works if there's an equilibrium where you want to be.

We fundamentally disagree about some very basic principles, which means that every interaction is an exercise in biting my tongue.
