What are you reading Joe

A book

I see that you are feeling better

I am just sad to be back in the UK

It will not be long

Too long

You will have recovered from your operation in weeks

I was always worried about the boon

Margaret Thatcher

Was the boon named after Mrs Thatcher

I am reading a biography of Mrs Thatcher

We always have to be aware of the enemy within

The traitors

Yes

Which are much more difficult to fight

And more dangerous to liberty

Do you think that is still true

It is much more true today

As people have become far more stupid

Really

Why is that

I have said this before

Circles

Yes circles

One must be able to appreciate circles

Very few people understand circles

And that is why they are easily led

Did you notice anything when we returned

Yes the country felt far more tense

It felt like that an unknown enemy

Was lurking in the shadows

That is the beauty of sailing Josephine

The sea is a natural leader

It punishes stupidity and rewards those

Who deserve to be rewarded

Black and white

The sea is black and white

May I read your book when you are finished with it

I will be taking it with me when we set sail again

You can read it now if you so wish or later

Do you think that Mrs Thatcher was a natural leader

What do you define as a natural leader

Were you thinking it the way that Nietzsche might have seen it

Yes I suppose I am

What are you writing Joe

I am copying detail from another book which you might find useful

Nietzsche did not advocate for a single type of natural leader but instead discussed qualities of the noble or higher man who exercises self-mastery embraces suffering and creates their own values opposing the herd mentality and democratized belief in universal equality

He contrasted these individuals with corrupt leaders who foster an aura of exceptionalism and cult of personality and with herd individuals who are content with mediocrity
