Hmm.. i can’t remember the specific reference to Thucydides from the book, and I don’t have it handy right now… did the book mention him? I just found the parallel quite interesting.
Regarding the other point, I meant ‘aligned with LW themes’, that is discusses many of the same things that are discussed here—and in many cases seems to agree. Not always—but apart from the parallel universe mixups which are a bit… suspect, I got the idea that NS has been lookin at LW (well, OB) and similar sources.
