If in the Middle Ages power was the Catholic Church or the feudal princes, in the (I) Modern Era (1750-1950) and (II) Postmodern Era (1950-2001) it was money. Money -- capital -- imposes its logic not only by a false "nature" that benefits the progress of the world but through old institutions like (1) the armies, (2) the churches, (3) the financial centers and (4) the mass media.

This is an excellent clip, Invictus

Seldom do I come across such a profound summation of the corrupting influence of power, especially in present-day writings.

Ya know, for years I have played a little imaginary game in my head: Its about who I would dearly love to sit down to a long leisurely meal and conversation with. Sometimes I imaging dining with some philosopher, humanitarian or great thinker from the past, and a few from the present..

Jorge Majfud is definitely on that list.
