When you go to Rome?

THE ADAGE GOES: “ … When you go to Rome, Do as Romans do! …”

THIS IS FLAWED, SERIOUSLY!

THE NEW AND UPDATED VERSION: “ … When you go to Rome, Do as the Roman Emperors ruthlessly do…!…”

FICTIONALIZING IT ABOVE INTO OUR PRESENT-TIME AND REAL-WORLD CONTEXT:

“ … When you go to Rome [that is in actuality to say: to the Earth’s marketplace, besieged by World Geopolitics and mired by Exponential Technologies], Do as the Roman Emperors [corporate ‘theater of operations’ CEO] ruthlessly do [and preemptively war-waged any black swan in order to underpin that your Silicon Valley startup’s products and services, tangibles and intangibles, become the most desirable NEW STANDARD to acquire in the Milky Way in a White Swan moment]…!…”
