Someone like Tamerlane, or Genghis, or Saladin.

Usually I pick a delicate 'tellectual for this sort of question. But the truth is people like Oscar Wilde find pleasure in idleness. As do I, and the present context Requires That I rid myself of improductivity. A poet or a philosopher Would only hinder the Attempt.

I am not meant to to work in factories. Hopefully, an extended education will keep me from this fate. The requirement is not dropping out. That I can manage. Academia happens to be the quickest path to worthwhile knowledge. The way taken is logical, congruent with the principle of knowledge as the greatest good and I am okay with that.

Meanwhile, it is imperative that I convince someone of Dubai's superiority in regard to the tourism industry. And then they will take me, because I have said so and it has been written. I am such a child. But in my defense, it would take years or decades for us to stop being so conspicuously, unrepentantly poor and we can book a flight to a country that sells gold in vending machines.
