Hi all, just a quick heads up - I’ve received a gracious offer from another Substack member to write the next planned essay on how elites concentrate power and keep it.
Sir Charles Machiavelli Cortés Bonaparte Genghis-Khan Caesar Augustus the Seed-Conqueror and Lord Featherbottom (aka Charles)
Charles is a mourning dove with an extensive background consulting aspiring oligarchs on how to achieve and concentrate power.
I have to admit, I was a bit doubtful and confused by his interest since our values are somewhat misaligned - I had planned on writing the post so that we can better understand the challenges in building a society that works better for everyone.
But this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with such an esteemed individual, so I couldn't turn it down.
Also, Charles' lawyers have been threatening to sue over copyright infringement for discussing oligarchy if I didn't agree 🤷🏻♀️
So please join me in welcoming Charles to the platform and as a guest author of Human Inference.
His debut post, “Cheat Sheet for Oligarchs” will arrive in your inboxes on Sunday morning.
Follow Charles at @charlescoos on Substack.
I am very pleased to have my request to write at @Human Inference honored promptly. It was so obvious that a true practitioner’s touch was necessary to do justice to the time honored tradition that is oligarchy.
I will deliver a sonorous serenade this Sunday.
Negligent non-subscribers and those who fail to open my delivered post will be DULY noted!!
