					<description><![CDATA[It is the philosophy, not the method. Consider this simple relationship: Philosophy —> Strategy —> Tactics Before the philosophers in the forum go all Socretean, let me define what I mean here when I say “philosophy.” I mean it in the vernacular sense, as a world view. Strategy and tactics are how you do things, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2025/06/14/its-the-philosophy-stupid/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">It&#8217;s the philosophy, stupid!</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The basic fact: I have a PhD from Harvard. Also, a Masters Degree. Oh, and by the way, it is sort of a double PhD because the program I was in combined two different fields, removing only one of several requirements from each (of my choice), but I actually pretty much met all the requirements &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2025/06/13/now-is-my-chance-to-tell-you-i-went-to-harvard/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Now is my chance to tell you I went to Harvard</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the first things anyone in South Africa ever told me was a story involving five or six “guys” (euphemism for a black South African man), a pile of leaves under which several people could hide, a broken down car, and a family of white farmers driving down the road.

					<description><![CDATA[There is a place in South Africa where a major river splits into numerous channels, one large, and several small. It does this because there is almost no sediment in the river valley, just rock, as is the case of much of South Africa, so when the river floods, the water just spreads out everywhere &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2025/06/11/the-most-beautiful-place-on-the-earth/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The most beautiful place on the Earth</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[People are perplexed. At times, Trump seems to be an idiot. At other times, people notice that he has pulled off a messaging coup indicating that he must be a genius. Sometimes we hear commentators caught in such a conundrum give up to say “or maybe people around him are really smart,” and this is &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2025/06/10/bass-fishing-in-ameria/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Bass Fishing In Ameria</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

That is of course not always true, there are perfectly good binaries out there.
