[note that capitalism via *kaput (head) and feudalism via *fehu (cattle) stand in a metonymic relation. compare https://adebiportal.kz/kz/translation/view/595#:~:text=We%20... ]
Mongoose vs (king) cobra, thats a pairing from asia i could be curious about..
[I note another horseshoe-like effect where foxes mporp lions, realtime, get themselves confused..]
Anabasis is _the_ counterexample i’d like to have remembered.. fully vulpine Commanding Officer
(I mentioned assassinationtargetstateofmind because… inferred internal states tend to be insanely effective when identifying .. familiars?)
Fox-lion confusion by a third party also occurs in one of the Panchatantra stories, where a mother leaps to the conclusion that the mongoose with blood on its mouth has betrayed her... (compare "Rikki-tikki-tavi")
From the violence-dealing viewpoint, wasn't the CO in the Anabasis designori? A 10'000 strong combined arms unit, even if default dead, is still well capable of holding its perimeter against wolves. (both here and in Persia)
That said, if you'd prefer to rotate the microscope lenses and narrow down to even-more-metaphorical lions and foxes, I'm happy to do so (if I may footnote the occasional ultima ratio[1] from time to time?) going forward.
[0] in the Tanakh lion is used metaphorically for scholars, but only as part of a total order, and there's plenty of violence in the (t <= R. Meir) fox and lion stories. (open Q: was the hebrew word, which gets translated fox, a fox or a jackal?)
[1] making people offers they can't refuse?
EDIT: this is probably the reason for our different distributional preferences: as metaphors for strategies, I'll grant a non-bimodal distribution, but as long as the lion stands (rampant?) for violence, doing gangsta shit effectively (which includes irreversible decision-making under the influence of adrenaline) implies a significant time sunk cost in having earlier practised doing gangsta shit; similarly all the skulking about meeting with (potential) informants is a significant time sink for the case officer: we can't all just have Hugin and Munin show up each morning with the news.
EDIT2: to what extent does Hercules' use of the Nemean Lion's claws to skin itself anticipate Cantor's use of diagonalisation?
Someday I'll have to actually read his story, because he took the Kolmogorov Option: his friendly suzerain died and an enemy inherited, so he wound up in exile, yet was able (while maintaining feudal proprieties) to capture Valencia, at which point (for story purposes) said hostile suzerain married the suzerain's sons to El Cid's daughters, leaving him sandwiched by inimical interests, and yet he still maintained his Kolmogorov bubble until death (and even some time after).
NB1 designori, writing off Laplace as a chancellor was fox skin (see below)
DJT designori, but much less certainty, fox wearing lion skin badly, or with help of stims?
PG: from video, designori, from writings, fox, so maybe fox wearing a lion skin? (havent considered his encounters with wolves and traps)
DanG no idea, slight maybe of fox wearing lion skin (from interviews)
Another measure: warmth/intellect affectations, so if inferred from writings=propganda (uh modulo that french isnt my Ln) old boney is one hell of a fox, or lion wearing fox skin..
Theres also the Mahatma: designori imho certainly, if he said=he meant
live like youll die tomorrow,]l[earn like youll live forever
Sorry about the Xenophon, brainfatulence, as it was. So id encourge you to point out any egregious goalpost shifting above & below
Our Lord of the Masses, yes (designori, probably, as a guess from the 2nd hand ads and not from any scholarship whatsoever)
El Cid, no idea, too far back, but from what you just said , designori but no idea of what wearing what skin
(If youd like i would have to even put some bars on my responses)
Veblen: most likely fox, unless we surface something in Ellen’s papers?
Bw limited, so answering the shallower q’s because the discourse seems like it jumped in depth
no wuckers; I'm happy for any discourse with a timescale beyond the HN "look a squirrel!" mode.
A lot of (human) capital destruction happened “under his watch” possibly too; yesterday i found in my acorn stash an old html document from Hal Varian, “markets for information goods” which should provide a good framing story for that (im guessing that the nomenclature ICE is just fortunate)
“Lone” (子連れ) whiskered canid here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5LmAo4tmT4
Erm, i (mostly) missed the flagged post, maybe rehash some of that stuff here?
EE’D’S always wondered if the moniker was inspired by “Lehnsmann” (aka UvH)
the lone canid being the post-'69 Nu Pogodi sketch?
bright eyed and bushy tailed on the drones!
widespread solar could be like the old RN: unlike the non-nuclear bits of the USN, they only needed to put into port for fresh water, victuals, and the occasional repair. where are we on beamed power? (I'd think like charging, you'd want as large an area as possible on the receiving end, so maybe not so useful for keeping drones aloft?)
Igloo White reminded me of Project Loon (but maybe it's just pareidolia that I see dual-use everywhere?) which would be another (but probably insufficiently stealthy) approach to drone range-extension (witness DARPA fascination with perching).

Ogami, having had to carry weapons in the pram, would've appreciated UvH's bei ... Fischfang müssen wir eisengepanzert sein. (oops: why did I quote the german? UvH wrote in latin)
EDIT: I can't believe the en.wikipedia for LWaC doesn't mention Hard Boiled (1992) in its trope list; the baby scene was even referenced shot for shot in a recent Fast and Furious.
EDIT: I'd guess HRV knew what he was doing (1998>>1981) but he does seem to be from the wrong generation
EDIT: https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/08/16/242148/hal-varia... Growing up, he turned to science fiction for excitement. ICE was a shout out.
from MfIG: A fourth technique for deal with exclusion is to embrace it, and bundle the information good with information that sellers want to be widely disseminated such as advertising.
