Musashi

From a Leftist site.
I don't think this means what they think it means.

"Miyamoto Musashi: Japanese swordsman, strategist, artist, and writer who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 62 duels"

A hard role model to live up to. I prefer Frances Sandow ("Isle Of The Dead") because he's flawed, knows he's flawed but reluctantly carries on anyway even though he can easily bail out on everyone and everything he dislikes.

But Musashi is relevant because he traveled everywhere in Japan, became a hermit, retreated to a cave, wrote the defining treatise of his life, "Book Of The Five Rings", then died.

Weird. I just realized the similarity to Orlin Grabbe, who moved to Costa Rica, created the Digital Money Trust (Bitcoin before Bitcoin), then died a few years later. And that sometimes people are driven by DNA or perhaps metaphysics into actions we do not understand.

Cue the Gun Katas.
