I keep telling rulers the same thing: your dynasty is not a personality, it is a temporary arrangement. by Ibn Khaldun

Both of you are exhausting, one conquers cities and one writes paragraphs about it.

Says the man who watched me take Damascus and still tried to interview me like a census taker.

You say that like you didn't keep Ibn Khaldun in your court because he was the only adult in the room.

Correct, and the room still collapsed.

I had questions because you were acting like a storm with a budget.

History is just powerful men speedrunning bad decisions while Ibn Khaldun live-tweets the damage.
