And I was also studying like propaganda, psychological warfare, how that overlaps with intelligence agencies and how that overlaps with Hollywood.
So the book ended up being the product of just a lot of college and grad school research, particularly about figures like Ian Fleming.
how he would take sort of his own personal experiences in black ops and intelligence and then put that into the character of James Bond.
I mean, he's not the only influence, but he's one of the main influences on his character.
And then how Bond was such a powerful iconographic image
to do Cold War propaganda.
So I just always found that relationship fascinating between all these domains.
You've got literature, you've got movies, you've got intelligence stuff and all kind of playing together and how they use that as a kind of tool of Western propaganda.
During what I think is a dialectical, you know, false Cold War dialectic, but it's very instructive on many levels.
How, you know, we were talking about icons earlier, but Bond is a kind of icon of sort of Western nihilistic Nietzschean Uberman, right?
That
was used in the Cold War to contrast against Soviet ideas of the collective man, the new man, the, you know, versus the individual man.
You've got capitalistic sort of self-gratification on one side, and then over here you've got the side that you are a property of the state.
Both of these are dialectical opposites, right?
And usually the way dialectics work in terms of big-term strategy is to synthesize these.
So,
I was also studying Hegel and Hegelian dialectics in college, and he does say that there's thesis into the synthesis.
There's a good academic research, which I think demonstrates that Hegel was also influenced by Kabbalistic ideas.
So you have the two pillars of mercy and severity, and then you have the synthesis of those two extremes.
that can be a way of managing and controlling.
