As I mentioned elsewhere, I am currently reading an historical novel about Caesar's dictatorship and the aftermath up to the defeat of Brutus and Cassius and the generational archetypes are so clear it's not even funny. Cicero was a clear Prophet. Caesar was a Prophet-Nomad cusper. Antony, Brutus, Cassius, and Cato were Nomads. Octavian and Agrippa are Civics.
What I find interesting about Cato is that he reminds me of conservative Losts ranting about "that man in the White House". He was a radical reactionary, if that makes any sense, idealizing a past golden age that never existed where the rabble knew their place.
I find Octavian amusing and fascinating because he was a Civic to the extreme.
To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.
