Hey all, happy summer. Welcome to another edition of Robbie Rambles. Let’s get to it. I wrote some reflections on Montaigne and Golgatha. I listened to these two episodes of the Jocko podcast with Dave McCormick and Gen. Michael Ferriter while driving back home from Texas. One of the things I love about Jocko is how the politics of his interviewees are alway treated as tangential. He starts with the humanity of his subjects first, and digs into their stories. I didn't even realize that Dave McCormick recently ran for Senate in PA until the latter half of the episode (a fascinating story featuring run-ins with everyone's favorite presidential villain). But I also appreciate how he and his guests steer you back to taking ownership of what's in front of you and doing right by the people around you.
