Intellectual Froglegs – Year End Edition
Legend tells us that Alexander the Great gave his generals three final commands as he lay dying. #1 Only the best doctors should carry his coffin. #2 All of his wealth should be scattered during the funeral procession. #3 His arm and hand should remain unwrapped, hanging from his coffin and highly visible.
When questioned about those instructions the 33-year-old King of Macedonia and conqueror of Achaemenid Persia explained his three reasons. First, every soul should know that even the best doctors of Kings cannot defeat death. Second, the riches we accumulate mean nothing, they remain of no value as we leave. Third, and most importantly, our hands leave this life as empty they came in, with truest treasure being time.
Alexander’s final orders are an apt reminder to each live our best life. The moments we create with our time are the value of life.

The subversive end of year transmission comes from deep in the underground bunker of the Rebel Alliance. Pull out those super-secret decoder rings, smile and enjoy the broadcast moment before the deep state satellite interception trucks show up on your driveway…
