Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582)...
...lived a life of continuous military conquest.
He instituted a specialized warrior class system and appointed his retainers and subjects to positions based on ability, not on name, rank, or family relationship.
He understood the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
He established the Japanese tea ceremony which was used originally as a way to talk politics and business.
He was smart enough to understand, that sometimes, you must play on both sides of the fence.
He was the Great Field.
Imagine that.

I'll tell you what I can imagine ... Oda on the back of a deck of Japanese playing cards.
Tell me he doesn't look like the Kings of Hearts, Pacific-style.

Are you doing some channeling by any chance?

I have liked his thinking for a long time.
I started thinking when I was about 32 years old, so that makes a long time, 21 years.
Sometimes less killing is better.
But only sometimes.
