All that is required is the enforcement of the 9th Amendment which forbids all taxes and regulations and protects trillions of our rights. If Madison had understood rights, he could and would have written the 9th as follows, like he did the 1st: "Congress shall make no law aridging the freedom of individuals to take any conceivable innocent actions they choose in the pursuit of their happiness. These include the 5 rights of property of INNOCENTLY acquiring, possessing, using, defending and disposing of any item of property including money, weapons of any kind, drugs of any kind, one's labor, parts of one's body as by abortion, transfusion or transplant, but excluding another human being." Everyone in government has already sworn to uphold and defend that without knowing what they were swearing to cuz Madison wrote the 9th so vaguely.

"It would be a revolution in governance, not based on tearing down and building a Utopia but on catalyzing novel forces of punctuated evolution."

Truly a basis for hope!

> Visionary and the Implementer duo

Are you familiar with the book, 'Rocket Fuel'? It's about the Visionary-Integrator combination. Although the authors use a different word for the second role, it sounds very similar to what you're talking about.

Have you evaluated yourself to find where you fit on each of those scales? I'm low Visionary, but high Integrator, according to the survey questions at the end of 'Rocket Fuel.'

Yes, definitely! (There is also Maven, Relater, Evangelist, which corresponds with head-centered, heart-centered, and gut-centered.) I am a full-tilt maven and I expect I'd test as Visionary and work very well with an Integrator like you, Domenic.

Here's Rocket Fuel for those who are curious: https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Fuel-Essential-Combination-Business/dp/1942952317/ref=sr_1_1

Max, if you ever do interviews on your podcast, I'm officially throwing my name in the hat to have a good conversation with you 💡

I'm also a fan of the Great Game of Business and the Rocket Fuel biz strategies, I immediately noticed the V/I duo reference, I've brought that into my management philosophy in my business.

I also love this analogy of the Promeathan Fire and how you used that here.

I keep thinking that for all of Musk's "genius," I would not want to be a part of any of his endeavors because I think he lacks heart and maybe gut intelligence. IOW, I think his Mars colony would be a hellscape with no escape.
