The self-sustaining core of power

  1.  Get key supporters
  2.  Control treasure
    - understand how it's raised and used to hold a country together
  3. Minimize key supporters

Notes: In a democracy, when a new source of treasure is discovered *cough* *AI* that dwarves the productivity of a nation's citizens, the odds of coup d'état gamble change.

Ryokan, a zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain.

One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal. 

Ryokan returned and caught him.

“You may have come a long way to visit me,” he told the prowler,

“and you should not return empty-handed. Please take my clothes as a gift.” 

The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away. 

Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon.

“Poor fellow,” he mused,

“I wish I could give him this beautiful moon.”

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
