When I consulted with CEOs and Boards, I often included a session on practicing and cultivating the cardinal virtues and their necessity for leaders. Yes, this was a nod to my undergraduate training in philosophy before going on to study economics and finance, but once it was a “cardinal” or hinge on which virtue training turned. This was taught in one room school houses across the country, written into secondary primers, university curriculums and western civilization and culture foundation classes. Today, we largely neglect this virtue education and ethics. We don’t require students to read Aristitotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and consider the makings of the good life. And as a nation we are much the poorer for its absence. We have a political class that views personal virtue as naive and our current quagmire is its direct result. Our leaders lie, profit from influencers who control them, and use their leverage to make side deals for their personal and family wealth. Tribal politics are no better because the ethos is the tribe rather than the underlying virtue. As a nation, we need to go back to basics and teach the virtues again: Courage (fortitude), Temperance (self-control), Justice and Wisdom (prudence). And hold our leaders accountable for their standard. We need to demand a hinge of ethical behavior on which our polis turns.

@curtis_yarvin I would hardly call Hayek, of the Austrian school, next door to Marxism. And Divine Providence is a far cry from determinism. To philosophize is to make distinctions. Yours are so obtuse as to be meaningless.

@sweetcarolinatv Wait a couple of months. Too much right now.

Another apricot tart for a kind neighbor, this time with custard.

@themuskmind1 It’s not love you describe. It’s ego projection.

[Annie Lockwood @tablewithannie]

@Architectolder I think it’s the picture angle

@BlakeSNeff Blake, Blake. Think. If you don’t, you’ll be doomed.

@wisdomXplorer Yes. Continually in 7th grade. My father told me, after several months, that I was going to have to punch her. So I did. After that, we were friends. Never happened again.

@baroncoleman And you are getting sick! Too much on!

Friday night, and a dinner reminiscent of the many Swiss high alpine huts of my climbing past. Cheese toasts with tomato, béchamel and Gruyère on toasted sourdough; a big little gem Salad with a Pommery sherry vinegar-Dijon vinaigrette; apricot tart with brandy glaze and whipped cream. And a big glass of Ventoux Red!

@TickleTexts I see this, and I’m praying for you, right now!

@KnightWorld Loyalty without honesty is worthless. It is like grace without truth. Rarer is honesty.

[Annie Lockwood @tablewithannie]

@SGabardi1111 P.S. of course you are worthy to stand. You stand in the saving grace of Jesus, and his imparted Goodness. Nothing could be worthier.

[Annie Lockwood @tablewithannie]

@SGabardi1111 Praying for you. Have had lots of these times, pushing through pain, because things had to be done. It’s very tough. Praying you feel the comfort of Jesus as you work.

@baroncoleman @RealCandaceO They view the same facts and attempt to manipulate a different conclusion.

[Annie Lockwood @tablewithannie]

@elonHQXFAN Has he said this? He has said he thinks there is a Creator. But he construes this as Spinoza did. That is a far cry from a God who is engaged redemptively with his creation.

[Annie Lockwood @tablewithannie]

@topkekius Wow. That’s quite a statement. You are the arbiter of what is? The epistemological czar? No hubris there.
