 The Power of Make Believe 

 

Cigarettes and ashtrays and make believe,  

Cotton candy, apple sauce, hard liquor, 

Tombs full of gold, sealed with a curse,  

And a cradle high up on a bough. 

 

I was wondering who farted,  

Then I realized I was the only person in the room,  

So, it had to be me. Yet is a fart laid by someone when no one else is around really a fart? 

 

These and other things occur to me when I think of the power of make believe. 

Nothing is real and substantially less material than reality that is too gross an idea to endure.

The case of Alexander the Great, often cast in the shadow of conquest, reveals a deeper transformation—one that aligns with broader Indo-European transitions and the philosophical principles of Ma’at. 1 Similarly, in modern political landscapes, the battle for recognition persists—from the FLQ uprisings to the sovereignty of Israel and Palestine, to the unclaimed inheritance of the Baron de Brück.   This article examines the philosophical shifts that underpinned historical sovereignty, drawing parallels between Alexander’s final years, Indo-European transitions, and contemporary geopolitical struggles. In doing so, it seeks to challenge entrenched historical narratives and reposition sovereignty as a dynamic interplay between identity and transformation. 1     Part One :   Alexander and the ...
