I first and last read about USA commercial pop psychology’s NLP around 1979. Human services people and educators from the Jimmy Carter dcd. and Sesame St Childrens Television Workshop era will probably remember ‘Bio-rhythms’ – those PEI waves, yarda freaking yarda, too. – The self-education system or psychotherapeutic practitioners’ and teachers’ schema for authenic powerful self-esteem and human relationships building Carkhuff and Berenson’s Human Resource Development also emerged at the time. – I need to emphasise here that a million of us teachers and social workers around the world in that exciting period of technical research-based innovation with renewed professional schemata and discipline were doing it big-time and changing geo-communities forever and for good, and NOT doing it for any hairy guru, prophet, church, cult, bunch of anodyne Christian Sunday School “Peoplemaker” Virginia Satir or Margaret Kubler-Ross (also 1970’s) anodyne cliches or turgid – if not dead spooky like something out of Salt Lake City Utah – Win Friends & Influence People ‘Dork City with Jimmy Olsen cub reporter’ inspired by a Madison Avenue grunge-bag and ideological fascist like Professor Freud’s brother-in-law..

“Here is a passage from the hymn, though it is almost sacrilege to detach it from its context..
‘As surely as Rome, O ye gods, is your handiwork, as surely as from Troy came those armed warriors who settled on the Tuscan shore – a mere remnant bidden to win a new home and a new city..
‘[So] — so, O gods, to our youth swift to learn grant ways of righteousness, grant to old age calm and rest, to the race of Romulus wealth and increase of its sons, O grant all that is glorious .. Already Good Faith and Peace and Honour and the Modesty of olden days and Virtue so long slighted muster strength to return, and Plenty with all the riches of its full horn is here for all to see.
‘Phoebus with his trappings of silver bow, who foresees the future, who is welcome friend of the nine Muses of Rome, who with health-giving skill gives new strength to tired limbs – Phoebus assuredly beholds with just and kindly eyes these towered hills of Rome and prolongs Rome’s greatness and the prosperity of Latium into yet another cycle and into ages that ever shall grow better.’ ”

Dylan & Eric.. Eric was the one often relocated as a kid because he had a United States of America Air Force father] wore trench coats in school, and in general, as part of their everyday outfits, so after the massacre, it was widely believed Harris and Klebold were part of a clique in school called the “Trenchcoat Mafia”, a group of misfits in the school who supposedly rebelled against the popular students.[6] This turned out to be untrue, as neither Harris nor Klebold had any affiliation with the group.[7][8] The pair’s aforementioned writings and videos gave insight into their rationale for the shooting. The FBI concluded that Harris was a psychopath, who exhibited narcissistic traits, unconstrained aggression, and a lack of empathy, while Klebold was concluded to be an angry depressive with a vengeful attitude toward individuals who he believed had mistreated him.[9]However, neither Harris nor Klebold were formally diagnosed with any personality disorders prior to the attack,[10] so this conclusion is often debated. In the following years, various media outlets attributed multiple motivating factors to the attack, including bullying, mental illness, racism, psychiatric medication, and violence in music, movies, and video games. Despite these conclusions, the exact motive for the attack remains inconclusive.
Harris and Klebold have become pop culture icons, with the pair often portrayed, referenced and seen in film, television, video games, music and books. Many killers since the shooting have taken inspiration from the pair (dubbed the Columbine effect), either hailing them as heroes or expressing sympathy for them. Harris and Klebold also have a fanbase, who have coined the term “Columbiners”, who write fan fiction and draw fan art of them. Others have also dressed as the duo for cosplay or Halloween.[11]

In earlier chapters it was pointed out that the characteristically Roman virtue of pietas expressed and strengthened family affection and family ties. We may see one manifestation of pietas in the care for the maintenance of children embodied in the institution known as the alimenta, though some writers have regarded increase of population and [RECRUITMENT FOR THE ARMY] as the motive which inspired its adoption by the state.
Private generosity sometimes.. The cost was met from the interest derived from a capital sum donated to the township. The Emporer Nerva adopted a similar plan in founding the ‘state’ maintenance allowances for 5,000 Italian children, as a beginning. The system was extended by later Emporers, especially Trajan, Marcus Aurelius^, Septimus Severus, and it disappeared in the reign of Diocletian.
Briefly, the scheme was this: the treasury made loans to farmers, who rendered a return of the value of their land; the loan was not more than about one-twelfth of the capital value. The farmer paid the interest at 5 per cent. to his local township, which was bound to spend it on the maintenance of children of the town..
The Emporers were proud of the scheme; Alim. Italiรฆ appers on the coins of Trajan, and Trajan’s Arch at Beneventum shows him greeted by four women, one with a baby in her arms, and by two Roman citizens, one with a boy on his shoulders, the other with a boy at his side. The women, no doubt, symbolise cities.

The story of this great struggle cannot be told here.
Hannibal crossed the Pyrenees, the Rhone, the Alps and descended upon Italy, where for fourteen years his army lived upon the Italian contryside, attempting with little success to detach the Italian allies from their loyalty.
After initial failures Rome dared not risk open battle. Q. Fabius Maximus, called ‘the Delayer’ for his ‘Fabian’ tactics, might nibble at the invading army, but no conclusion followed. Roman nerves stood delay no longer. A general was appointed and charged to put an end to the invader.
At Cannae in 216 B.C. the Roman army was annihilated – and Rome never rose to such heights. Patiently she set to work to regain lost ground, and Hannibal was provoked to advance on the city. Three miles away he turned aside; for no ally had joined him, no army met him, no proposals of peace were sent to him. He withdrew. His brother Hasdrubal hastening into Italy from Spain was defeated and slain; and at Rome P. Cornelius Scipio urged and was allowed to undertake the invasion of Africa. At Zama in 202 B.C. victory was won; Carthage was broken.
There are many interesting features about this war. Rome might have expected it to be fought in Africa or Spain; it was fought in Italy and, it fused Italy into a whole.Rome might have expected some respite after victory: she was commited to years of severe fighting in Spain to prevent Carthaginian consolidation there; and, if Spain was divided into two ‘provinces’ in 197 B.C., much work still lay ahead.
She might have expected that after the wars in Spain Carthage would give no further trouble; but Carthage attacked Numidia. Rome decided upon extreme measures; yielding to the increasing demand of M. Porcius Cato that ‘Carthage must be destroyed’, she destroyed the city in 146 B.C., and Africa became a Roman province.
Finally, Rome might have expected the thanks of posterity and some measure of admiration for her inflexible courage and endurance through sixty-five years of war and threat of war.
But such prosaic virtues are apt to pale beside the romantic figures of Dido and Hannibal; and neither Regulus, made immortal in an ode of Homer, nor Scipio Africanus can restore the balance in English minds.
When Vergil, the poet of the augustan age, told in the Aeneid the srory of Aeneas’ journey from the still-smoking Troy to found a new Troy on the Seven Hills he made his hero halt on the shore of Africa where Carthage was being built by Dido, her queen. Aeneas stayed as her guest and lover till his duty to the Trojan gods drove him once more in search of the promised land.
Betrayed and deserted, the queen killed herself and the moving scenes in which Vergil presents the whole drama enlist modern sympathy on the side of the Carthaginian queen; Aeneas the reader of today can scarcely understand. The curse of deadly enmity between the two nations called down by Dido was extinguished only by the extinction of Carthage herself.

“Later, these same hill-men moved down to the plains and settled upon the site of the ‘Seven Hills’ of Rome. They were a pastoral folk. Their earliest festivals were concerned with the interests of shepherds ; milk, not wine, is the earliest offering, and wealth was reckoned in cattle ; the very word for ‘money’, pecunia (whence ‘pecuniary’), means ‘head of cattle’. They found other men of kindred race, Sabellian and Sabine, moving upon the plain and settling upon the higher ground; from the fusion of these settlements Rome took her origin. From her central position her soldiers could move north and east and south – along the valleys north and east, and down the plain to the south ; they soon learned the value of ‘interior lines’ .”

“Indeed, some have thought that the site of Rome was chosen from the first as an outpost against the Etruscans from the north. And here, for the moment, we leave the Romans, as they join with outlying settlements, and turn to agricultural pursuits and trade with Etruscan and Greek merchants.
“To the north of the Tiber lay the Etruscan empire. The Etruscans were probably sea-wanderers (from the East?) settled at last in etruria, or Tuscany – cruel, overbearing, worshipping gloomy gods of the underworld and divining the future from the organs of slaughtered animals. They built enormously solid walls to defend their cities, and they traded with greek cities and with Carthage in Africa, and thus ‘borrowed’ fro civilisations superior to their own. From the sea they penetrated into the Campanian plain, and in the seventh century tried to move south to occupy it, circling round the hills to the east to avoid the swamps, and seizing some of the Latin towns on the high ground.
“About the time of the Latin migration to the ‘Seven Hills’, Greeks began their long process of seizing the best harbours on the south and west coasts of Italy and the eastern side of Sicily ; the Carthaginians, too, occupied the western half of the island. At first the Greeks wanted only trading stations, but in time colonies were sent from Greece to establish cities which soon became among the fairest of the Mediterranean. Perhaps the earliest Greek settlement was Cumae, on the bay of Naples, in the eighth, and of great moment to Europe ; for from the Greeks of Cumae the Latins learned the alphabet ; the Etruscans too adapted the same letters to their purpose, and passed them on to the inland tribes. From Cumae, also, Italy may first have learned of Greek gods, such as Heracles and Apollo. But the chief settlements of the Greeks werer in the extreme south of Italy and in Sicily. Syracuse and Agrigentum in Sicily, and Tarentum, Sybaris, Croton, and Rhegium in South Italy are all Greek in origin. They are most important in Roman history, for through them Rome came into full contact with the Mediterranean world.
” The Etruscans and the Greeks were the two most powerful influences during Rome’s early years. The rest of Italy was sparsely inhabited by tribes, many akin to the Latins. They lived in comparitive isolation in their hills, tending flocks and tilling the land and grouping together into settlements, as geography allowed, for defence and trade and worship.
“Now let us return to the Romans. The first three kings were Latins, the last three were Etruscan. The last of these was ejected by violence (traditionally 510 B.C.), and the word ‘king’ became anathema to the Romans. Yet the Etruscan influence remained. Temples and rites survived ; Jupiter was still enthroned on the Capitolene Hill, Diana on the Aventine. The insignia of Etruscan rulers became those of Roman magistrates, the ‘ivory chair’, the bundles of rods with two axes bound up with them (fasces). But, more important, Rome acquired an organisation which was to turn her into an imperial power.
“Till about 270 B.C. Rome fought perpetually for existence in Italy, and her fight could not cease till she was recognised as a leading power. The highest qualities of courage and resourcefulness were called for ; one tribe after another was overcome, and was incorporated on varying terms into the Roman state or sphere of influence. Leagues and alliances were created. At one crisis, the sacking of Rome by roving Gauls in 390 B.C. – the Latin cities failed to aid her ; they suggested federation, and Rome made up her mind that safety lay only in their conquest. At great self-sacrifice she reduced them to obedience, and then went forward as tribe after tribe appealed to her for aid, and eventually for alliance and the extension of her ‘rights’ to their cities. At last, Thurii, in the ‘instep’ appealed for aid against Tarentum. Rome hesitated – and agreed. Tarentum brought in Phyrrus, King of Epirus across the Adriatic ; and Rome emerged from his invasion of Italy the leader of the Greek states in South Italy. Thus, she passed into the sphere of the Carthaginians whose trade covered the seas of Sicily aand thge Western Mediterranean After half a century of struggle (264 – 202 B.C.) it was decided that Rome should become a ‘world power’, and that the lands of the West should be ruled by an Aryan, not a Semitic race.”

Often it would seem that both pessimist and perfectibilist agree as to the facts, differing only in their attitudes towards the facts.
The leisured and powerful are justified by their function, while the poor and humble who by their labours maintain them have the consolation of knowing that they ‘maintain the state of the world.’ To each his providentially appointed condition and estate! And if the people should murmur in their hearts2, cavil at their lot, question the providential nature of the arrangement, and seek to shake the foundations of authority itself? The in the conservative can appeal direct to his own power and his opponent’s weakness and ignorance.
In Ibsen’s dialogue between the Provost and Brand, it is the mocking castigation of their own inferiority by the Provost that is effective in undermining the people’s will to take up the challenge in the face of their fears.

The taunt strikes at each man’s own sense of personal impotence3 ever to alter the conditions under which he suffers; it reminds him of his customary status with its attendant feelings of deference to those set4 in authority over him. It reminds him that he is the subject5 [and that others are the rulers]; and it suggests that this dichotomy is eternal6 as Nature herself7. But is it ? The debate turns on the issue of what is human nature. It is precisely the issue as to who we are that is the most fiercely disputed. Can man7A by his own understanding and endeavours work out his own salvation8.? Or is he irrredeemably a fallen creature, seeing the better but following the worse ? suffering by virtue of his own folly and then wallowing in his own self-pity ?

When Edmund Burke attacked the radicals struggling to achieve an extension of the suffrage, he was quick to fasten onto an allusion by Dr Price to the existing3AA voters as a few thousands of ‘the dregs of the people.’ ‘You will smile here,’ Burke comments, ‘at the consistency of those democratists, who, when they are not on their guard, treat the humbler part of the community with the greatest contempt, whilst, at the same time, they pretend to make them the [depositories] of all power.’ None struggled more devotedly to enlighten mankind than Denis Diderot [in the face of crushing blows by his enemies]. But even Didwerot, in a mood of despondency as he considered in retospect the malignant opposition which he had to overcome in order to produce the great [Encyclopaedia], was constrained to reflect: ‘The world does not profit from its advance into old age: it does not change. It is possible that the individual perfects himself, but the race becomes neither better nor worse in the mass. The sum of evil passions remains the same, and the enemies of the good and useful remain as numerous as ever 3AAA.’ Nevertheless.. the good always enjoyed one vital advantage.. ‘The good man is susceptible of an enthusiasm that the wicked man does not know…’

4 In mathematics, a set is a collection of different[1] things;[2][3][4] these things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other sets.[5] A set may have a finite number of elements or be an infinite set. There is a unique set with no elements, called the empty set; a set with a single element is a singleton.
4A gravitational singularity, spacetime singularity or simply singularity is a condition in which gravity is predicted to be so intense that spacetime itself would break down catastrophically. As such, a singularity is by definition no longer part of the regular spacetime and cannot be determined by “where” or “when”.

The race of man shall perish from the earth before the glory of Ciceroshall perish from their memories. VELLEIUS PATERCULUS
Cicero stands near the end of the age of conflict and disruption. From his pages we can reconmstruct much of the story of his time, as seen from the viewpoint of a member of the aristocracy. He was born in 106 BC and was put to death by Antony a year after the murder of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. His extant works take up eighteen volumes in a small pocker edition published in 1823; three volumes of ‘rhetorical’ treatises (or literary criticism and ‘education’), six volumes of speeches written to be delivered in Senate or law-court, four of philosophical works and one of fragments. In all these pages there is little that tells us of the manner of life led by the majority; in Latin literature, as in Greek, the outlook is that of the few. In Rome the government was in the hands of an oligarchy drawn from families ennobled by service to the state and counting among its numbers the most highly cultivated men of the day, In the writings of Cicero, the strength and the weaknesses, the blind prejudices, the massive culture, and the corruption of private and pulic integrity stand out clearly. He was a ‘new man,’ that is, he did not belong to one of the old families; he came from Arpinum, and like many before him he had migrated to Rome to stand for office as the preliminary to a public career. He was eminently successful, and after his famous consulship in 63 BC had held a short and inconspicuous term of office as proconsul in Cilicia. In senatorial circles – for, of course, he was a senator – he moved freely, for he was a leading advocate, politician and man of letters. Occasionally a slight trace of social uneasiness can be detected. He loved Rome and was miserable when away from it. To him and to his circle the only work that counted as work was in the service of the state (negotium); all else, no matter how urgent or exacting, was ‘time off,’ even though it might include a man’s main livelihood. For this class, land was the only worthy occupation; trade and industry were not acceptable pursuits. It was not that these men were above money; money was their curse, and some of the largest fortunes of history were gathered into the hands of men like Lucullus and Crassus, and were often expended on luxuries wicked and futile; moreover, towards the end of the Republic, senators evaded the rules forbidding them to have interests in trade and industry and transacted business of all kinds through intermediaries. What they disliked was retail trade and the routine of manufacture. But they were on close terms with contractors and producers ‘in a big way’ and with financiers and bankers; and they readily sold their estates and country houses and bought others, and speculated in the land and ‘house-property’ markets.
These men of senatorial rank moved about Rome and Italy and the provinces as though they were a race apart.. [Section report //]
