Patton also said he thought with Napoleon in 1812 in Russia, and with the Roman army and Carthage. He was a brilliant cavalryman and Tank warrior. But he’s also a bigot and a mystic who had a lot of odd beliefs. Every word that proceeds from the mouth of Patton was not brilliant.

“Mystics” can be very powerful characters. Or, rather, Pattons mystical speculations are a sign of a very unconventional man, for a US Army general. They are the sorts that think outside the box and find unconventional solutions, or exploit vulnerabilities missed by the conventionally constrained.

Things move fast in the real world and conventional people often cant deal with the whiplash of rapid paradigm shifts.

Trump and Musk and others forcing change dont present as mystics (well, Musk has, sometimes, but that may be the drugs), but they are extremely unconventional.
