καλησπέρα Ms. Applebaum. Your reflections on the progress in the overall economic well-being as well as the forward thinking efforts of Mitsotakis are both helpful to those who need to know and praiseworthy to those who have worked so hard to make Greece better. Thank you!
Also did you check out the Areopagus? I’m not religious at all but the fact you can see the spot where the apostle Paul really got on the nerves of some highly educated Greek Philosophers with his backward country bumpkin superstitious nonsense only for that superstitious nonsense to wipe out the entire religious base of their society within a few hundred years is just amazing to me, even as a committed atheist that’s a spot I’ll be checking out when I actually get to Athens
Interesting take. I've been living in Greece for a little while and have been wondering how much of the economic and political optimism is window dressing and localized to the elite. Doesn't take too long before you'll stumble into a kind of radicalism among the youth that much resembles their Balkan neighbors, particularly anarchism and communism.
I really love Delphi but it was eclipsed by Python, which I also love.
C what I did there? Though, if you're fission for clues about Israeli strategy, mum's the word!
Every cut out needs a handler.
Westerners love to Imagine ancient Greece, specifically Athens, as a liberal democracy, when in reality it was an oligarchy with a limited franchise for the well-off and many other Greek city-states were not so organized, most famously Sparta. Sparta, unlike the USSR, lost to Athens (the USA).
Most liberals overestimate the success of liberalism(Fukuyama, e.g.) and don't understand the causes or extent of the apparent successes and evident failures of liberalism (Iraq, Afghanistan). Because liberals fail to recognize the limits of liberalism, we wind up with idiots like Trump or shitheads like Putin as well as Taliban back in power. If you don't really understand your own limitations you set yourself up for failure. Fukuyama and Albright are the two greatest examples of U.S. hubris. Where did that lead?
Good news, for a change—
Good insights and writing Thankyou

“kings and generals might really want to know”
Want to ‘know’ or want to ‘hear’ 😊
