In the beginning there was chaos and it had thong in its title which is the mode of those who will assume any position for the sake of their hit counter. Pithing Contest yields to the resurgence of the original title albeit in an odd translation.

the maddest of crowds

Money is a shared delusion that some people should be more powerful than others, a mildly insane way to digitize exactly how much power you lack.

Excellent insight!

Which means, of course, I agree. :)

Lately I've started using "influence" and "influential" instead of the P word, however.

I've noticed the word "power" seems to have a weird power over some people. The influence of money, and the influence of people who somehow accumulate money, seems consistent with the P word and with our common saying, "Money talks."

Good stuff here! Thanks for contributing your perspective.
