“Keyserling said that sport puts an exceptional valuation on the body. Look at how rich sports stars are, and look, by contrast, at how poor academics are. No one puts value on the mind, on intellect. It’s not held in esteem in our society. A society that worships moronic sports stars and loathes intelligent people is finished. The greatest and most powerful nation on earth is the one that assigns more value to intelligence than anything else. Sports stars don’t land men on the moon. Clever people do. Sports stars are just entertainers who are good at performing absurd, arbitrary games, with absurd, arbitrary rules, invented by bored humans, and usually involving a ball, a field and posts.”

“National capitalism is the ultimate expression of community capitalism. The whole nation is regarded as the community to be served by capitalism. Capitalism is for everyone, not for the 1%. Laissez-faire capitalism, i.e. predatory free-market capitalism, is external to democracy and the elected government. It is run by and for the private elite, the 1%. The 99% are left to rot. National capitalism reverses this. It’s all about serving the 99%. The 99% always come first. Under national capitalism, the interests of the 1% are no priority whatsoever. This is therefore the opposite of the situation that pertains today.”
