I see you’re coming around to embracing the Thegn’s Hall. I expect to hear sonorous chanting of Beowulf in the original Anglo-Saxon as I pass by the foot of your hill.
An architect changes his mind in Norway — ‘our industry is changing’
This fascinating case study was recently profiled in the Norwegian media. MAD architects designed this hyper-modern building in 2014.
Back then, Kurt Singstad, the architect, designed the building to

Absolutely, which is why I think it faces a crisis of legitimacy, and why the right, as characterized above (formalized, visible, personal hierarchy as foundational to good politics) will increasingly be recognized as pro-civilizational.
Auth Deco - An Architectural Manifesto
1/ Great architecture serves people by placing them within a beautiful reality.
The name hearkens to Art Deco, or arts décoratifs, the last style of an ascendant civilization.
@JulianWaller
What if it is united by a recognition that hierarchy is inevitable thus requiring politics formalizing this reality? A technocratic liberal might “trust the experts” but the nature of such a regime is to obscure, de-personalize and de-formalize power.
ERC statues. Nice chart by EY.
I would just note that the civil suit as an erroneous refund is 2 years after the refund OR 5 years in the case of misrepresentation of material fact.

Trust me, I’m not, personally, but the point remains that for you to monetize say, a firm owner master class, there must be firm owners that continue to perform accounting services!
@SimoneHCollins
Can't tell you how many times childless people my age have interacted with my children as if they were a different, yet temperamentally undifferentiated species, rather than individual human beings with distinct and interesting temperaments and traits.
@LoganGrafTax
True enough, but there are those suited to this and those that aren't, and there must always be a broad base of clientele in these models that actually, ya know, do the work of accounting, tax, and advisory work (even if it means being a bot overseer).
@Cranky_CPA
This is spot on and a much needed message. If you don't enjoy most of the aspects of entrepreneurship you mention (content creation, service design, proposals and contract negotiations, overseeing firm admin, etc), find yourself a good firm to work for!
I am very taken with the concept of home. I think we pay it too little attention. Every part of it matters. It cannot be sterile. The nature of a home should present fruitfulness and charm.

Also, in all seriousness, tax law can be a fun, weird puzzle, and it's incredibly gratifying to ensure only the absolute minimum tax legally required is paid to the federal government from my business clients.
@danchodan
Dan, what’s your view on the historical significance of the ERC relative to other episodes in the history of the IRS and tax policy? My view is this will be in textbooks for years to come, similar to how the Enron scandal has featured prominently in Audit classes.

Similarly, in less changeable liturgies (like that of St. Chrysostom) if they are set to particular music the congregation and truly own it.
Just one aspect of ownership, but an important one.

“Ownership-that is the crucial word. From the late 1960s into the 1980s, Many Catholics were solemnly instructed to believe that when it came to music they owned nothing; they would have to start from zero.” Day, Pg. 101

The license, and the industry more broadly, is a springboard not a box, and there's a vast array of roles to be filled by unique temperaments and gifts.
