  1. ‘Can a conqueror remain a true student of virtue? Does political power inevitably corrupt the soul?’ greekreporter.com/2025/12/07/a

    Clearly Trump is not. His soul has been corrupted and not just by embezzlement and undermining the independence of the executive, legislative and judiciary. To be fair he didn’t have or has anyone like Aristotle for his teacher. Neither is he like Alaxander the Great, a pupil who built an Empire. Therefore the facts support the truth that he must be the destroyer of an Empire. Most definitely he is not the leader, creator, financier or the worker of a Federation. #EmpireVsFederation #Philosophy #DialecticalInference #DialecticPrinciple #Aristotle #AlexanderTheGreat

  2. Just released a massive update for Arete that takes the number of scenarios from 8 to lucky 13! New scenarios are:

    •Haemus
    •Lyginus
    •Pelium
    •Arigaeum
    •Twins (a balanced Alex v Alex scenario for 2-players)

    Not a DLC. Not an in-app purchase. If you own Arete on any platform just update and enjoy!

  3. Searching for one of Alexander the Great’s lost cities in the closest thing to real-life Indiana Jones you’ll ever read. What a ride.

  4. I should've built this dev tool in Arete a long time ago. It's so much easier now to visualize and fine-tune the CPU's initial behavior. Each counter has an overall posture that can change based on the circumstances, but in some scenarios, like this one, I want to give them a starting "nudge".

  5. ‘Which moment would I most like to go back to? The Achaemenid Persian court when #AlexandertheGreat took over in the 330s BC.’
