Yes please, more chapters sneak peaks. Looking forward to the book.
Another point I wanted to discuss with you, and it seems relevant especially to this chapter, is whether u included in the book the Islamic empire that took on both the Roman and Persian empires, simultaneously. During that era, they were pioneers in math, psychics, and medicine. Not much material exists on it, especially in English, because when the west “won” it back, like all victors, they rewrote history. To this day, the west demonizes Islam and dehumanizes Arabs. If you’re interested, I recommend listening to Dr. Roy Casandra’s lectures on the subject. I think you’ll dig it.
I would recommend diving into Salahuddin Ayoubi. I asked Ghat GPT for a quick comparison between him and Alexander the Great from Dr Roy Casagradna’s perspective, here’s the TLDR:
Roy Casagranda holds Salahuddin Ayyubi (Saladin) in very high regard for his leadership and ethical approach during the Crusades, contrasting him with other historical figures like Alexander the Great. While both are acknowledged for their military prowess, Casagranda particularly emphasizes Salahuddin’s magnanimity, highlighting his restraint and diplomacy, especially during the capture of Jerusalem, where he showed clemency towards the city’s inhabitants. This contrasts with the more aggressive tactics often attributed to Alexander the Great, who, while a brilliant military strategist, used ruthless measures in his conquests.
Casagranda’s evaluation of Salahuddin suggests that he views him not only as a military genius but also as a leader of exceptional moral character, setting him apart from other historical conquerors. Alexander, on the other hand, is respected for his strategic brilliance but is not seen in the same moral light as Salahuddin  .
I have done some reading on Salahuddin, and he's actually referenced in my book. Although I disagree here with Casagranda (or at least the ChatGPT interpretation), because Alexander was in fact extremely magnanimous, and of the ancient heroes was probably who Salahuddin was most alike.
Awesome. Can’t wait for the book! If ur ever in Dubai, hit me up. We can’t discuss ancient warriors over some wine and T-bone steaks …here my npub npub1tdhrj6zzrgq7q2vecgkadywhepvz5xh2wewkdk4awp8wk28v876qytnp6k
Excellent thank you! Love the contrast between territory & private property.
“A man’s home is his castle” can only work when the collective spiritual territory of the society is healthy. Otherwise & in despite of property taxes & debt it’s still just a domesticated animal with a private cage.
This really resonated, look forward to the book. As someone who loves to have acreage and develop it into long vision homesteads, I see it, and have lived it on 3 continents. I think the idea of territory really gets at the dire need to rediscover and honour masculinity and the male powers of protection and intelligent development of resources.

There’s so much of history I’d like to deep diver further in. Would love to discuss at some point. Thankyou for the recommendation

Absolutely 👌
Heartening to say the least! I look forward to future excerpts

Thankyou. It’s a powerful idea. I plan to explore it much greater detail in the coming year.
