mkfs Beware of those who think too much!

An ancient rule of power:

On one occasion he sent a herald to ask Thrasybulus
what mode of government it was safest to set up in order to rule with
honour. Thrasybulus led the messenger without the city, and took him
into a field of corn, through which he began to walk, while he asked
him again and again concerning his coming from Corinth, ever as he
went breaking off and throwing away all such ears of corn as over-topped
the rest. In this way he went through the whole field, and destroyed
all the best and richest part of the crop; then, without a word, he
sent the messenger back.
