Whom The Gods Would Destroy The First Make Mad

This metaphor in the play by Sophocles written in 400 bc is the only competent strategic insight for the total breakdown of any semblance of even rationality in western political leadership. Genocide, War, Hyperinflation seem to not phase or affect or even bother the current leadership of all of the United States or Western Europe. Are they mad? Yes, but in a very specific way! We study tonight the crucial strategic insights needed to understand and in a more important way, how to deal with this problem. As Shelly said in his Defense Of Poetry: The poets are the unacknowledged legislators for mankind.
