Yeah this is one of the things that tickles me pink. Paul LeRoux, bless his black heart, put his money where his mouth is - he took his riches and set out to be a warlord in Somalia. Once there he discovered that feudal violence discovers a different sort of business acumen and bailed. I think one of the reasons Marc Andreesen has been such a shit lately is the whole TESCREAL crew is starting to realize that they're going to need people to follow them voluntarily and it's been decades since any of them have had to talk anyone into listening to them, rather than just buying them out or browbeating them with money. Well, that, and the fact that they're all a bunch of coddled country club kids busily plotting for an end to the only world where they have any juice.
