Ouch!

That sent me down a rat-hole.

I went down a different rat-hole. One that dealt more with his coding and race-car history than his global politics (which aren't mentioned at all in his wikipedia entry).

The most interesting tract of his that I found is The Rails Doctrine, with which I can find little to disagree.

That document also introduces the software application of the Japanese dining concept of omakase, which is also the source of the name Omarchy.
I also note that one of the tenets of the Rails Doctrine is "Push Up a Big Tent", which works nicely for me in the political context also under discussion.
