Re: Mind's Eye Self-mastery

I think War Plan Red as actually the US defence plan against possible
Brit invasion via Halifax in Canada - written around 1930. They
actually built the aerodromes near the border.

For some reason I was thinking about Gabby and German politics in
terms of RP's self-mastery. I'd tend to vote Green here if we had a
decent PR system. They poll about 15% in Deutschland and are rather
smartly dressed for my taste these days. When I was last there they
were split between whether to enter real politics or just do protest
and looked like swamp creatures. Merkel is still the front runner and
actually is a swamp creature. She has mastered the RP scheme.These
days, she seems to have no policy of her own. Instead, after a
suitable delay, she takes on opposition policies in a diluted form.
Intellectual critics complain that she has no 'idea', no 'concept'.
And to describe what she does, or rather doesn't, they have coined a
frightful new German word: Entinhaltlichung, meaning
'Decontentification - though, of course, no Englishman would use such
a word, even if it was in his lexicon. All this made me think of what
our word for RP-style self-mastery would be, given it means not doing
some stuff you didn't really want to in the first place and aren't
really bothered about. It all feels about as passionate as
Entinhaltlichung. Anyway, until RP circulates the rest of his hidden
missive, I have given up Frau Merkel as my contribution to self-
mastery week. Not many women who look old enough to be my mother are
actually two years younger than me, so this and my renewed dedication
on not eating pickled onions matches RP's booze and tabs.
