#politics   I admire his cheerful attitude, but I'm not sure that politics in #art, #music and #sports is any less serious than politics anywhere else.  To put it another way, what does one do in ANY situation when one wants to avoid a fight?  The most #risk laden phrasing of this I have ever heard came from one of those old Austrian #military thinkers, I think Clausewicz or Metternich (or both?):  'War is the extension of diplomacy by other means.'  #philosophy  For most of us as individuals the equivalent of diplomacy is #communication and discussion.
