Too many things happening in life lately and I wasn’t about to post anything for at least another day. Yet some intro of a TV show to be really bothered me. A quick glimpse at the into reviewed that the show will be about the life of some hotshot money earning guru.
Momentarily in the into, the hotshot mentioned that he has no respect for those who can learn and has good grades at school but can’t earn a whole lot of money!
I am afraid true geeks remain those who just don’t get it. Acquiring knowledge is not necessarily solely for the purpose of gaining big fortune. Interest could be one thing. Self improvement is another. I am sorry for that person who appeared to have neither. Probably because he never did learn anything at all.
We have a term for his kind – parvenu. And I am, however, glad that I got to learn this term in English just now. Thank you. Like the MIB do to low-life alien slugs, we could just shoot them into green slime, with a quick zap in the eye and we would completely forget about them.
When dogs rule the world, the world runs with Laws of the Dogs. What can you do?
We do the Shakespearean way and let slip the dogs of war?
Don’t know much about Shakespeare, sorry.
Ah…
It is from one of the most famous soliloquy…
in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, Mark Antony realizing what a mistake is was to have murdered Julius Caesar, “…cry ‘HAVOC’ and let slip the dogs of war…”, in anticipation of a savage war of revenge for JC’s death.

TBH, I have only seen the Richard Burton movie when I was a kid without actually read the book. It was, however, when I heard it again in a Star Trek movie where the Klingon General mimic the line after the murder of the Klingon Chancellor that had the line imprinted in my mind.
