Napoleon
DepartmentOfGoodIdeas.com proudly presents a report on an unusual man of unusual gifts and talents.
Talk about fantastic mental powers. We are all born with some, including making a nice rice pudding with the raisins, and the finish of that cooking: the raspa which is the bottom of the pot, where it has burned a little, you scrape it, eat it, and know there is a heaven beyond the one we have been told of.
Planet Casimir before the explosion

After the mega-health benefits (not to mention the whales, or the children) of doing positive deeds was discovered, more and more are looking to serve.
Napoleon
Biographers emphasize Napoleon's mental and physical endurance, and is almost limitless powers of concentration. His fiery energy, it cannot too be too often repeated, was the man's distinctive character.
The first consul manifested these remarkable powers of precise analysis which enabled him for 10 hours at a stretch to focus on one subject or on several without allowing himself to be distracted by either memories or aberrant thoughts not on topic.
Planet Casimir, the flux of continents
He would awaken from a profound slumber and rouse his full mind instantly to the highest pitch so he could compose as incisively as in the midst of active alert rationalization.
He had the quality of laborious, untiring, self initiated, self-contained industry.
What distinguished him from us all was above all the speed, force, and perseverance of his powers of attention. He never lost energy and could never be distracted. Napoleon said the he thought constantly, was always working when dining or at the theater.
He said he had never found his own limits to his capacity to work. He had no interests besides his work.
Planet Casimir, once a peaceful planet
Napoleon remembered events and places to an uncanny degree. He said matters and affairs in his mind were organized like a chest of drawers. Whenever he wanted to interrupt a train of thought he closes a particular mental drawer and opens another. He does not confuse them, and the game does not tire him at all. Whenever he wished to finish, he closes all the drawers and instantly fall asleep.
The amount of facts he accumulated staggered the imagination. He was always the man who knew more about anything than anyone.
Napoleon was able to evaluate complex situations and details at a glance from a distance. He immediately grasped the essential aspects of the matter. In all questions and discussions, he always differentiated essentials from non. Very quickly he would see what even people of great intelligence would have seen only after studying the matter thoroughly. He would arrive at conclusions by intuition rather than logic.
Things are beginning to heat up in the planet
One idea led immediately to a thousand ideas. There was a peculiar order in his mind where everything had its proper place. His intellectual capacity was vast from the sheer number of subjects he could take in and classify without fatigue. He hated everything disorderly and problematical. He had a mania for order.
What strikes one is the remarkable perspicuity and great simplicity of his mind and its processes. There is always charm in a conversation with Napoleon, difficult to define. Seizing the essential points of a subject, stripping them of useless accessories, he developed his thoughts and never ceased to elaborate on them until they were perfectly clear and conclusive. He always found the correct word for the thing or invented one where the usage of language had never created it.
Casimir scientists build a solar shield which also generates power
Napoleon took a great interest in every detail of administration and was expert in military matters other than those directly concerned with war. He was at constant study of the history of great generals. What he learned thus he applied to his problems.
In his conclusions, all was clear and precise, and in what required action he knew neither difficulty or uncertainty. In practice he could circumvent ordinary rules. He went to the end in view without being distracted in the least, and he was not delayed by considerations he considered secondary.
The most direct line of approach to the subject he desired was that which he chose by preference and which he would follow to the end, nothing could entice him from it, or cause deviation.
Planet Casimir explodes. Unforeseen design flaw in the shield.
Napoleon also knew when to give his plans up or modify them at the moment his point of view was changed, or new combinations gave him the means of attaining it by a different path.
"Before undertaking an enterprise I have long considered it and foreseen what could possibly occur. My own reflections guide me." - Napoleon
Napoleon spoke directly to the basic feelings of the Human psyche. Rarely did he lose control of himself. He hated no more than he loved, and there was only him for himself. He never loved anyone in his life, not women, men, or chicken. He was passionate in his ambition and iron in everything else.
He was his own enemy, for the precision of his mind meant that he had no use for leaning on the advice of others.
So, the inhabitants had fled to their second world in spaceships.
There was resentment from able men of the time, of influence, that they were deprived of opportunity which they had the right to expect. When Napoleon was away from the center of affairs, the state was weakened because he had not empowered a staff or effective government.
Such was the case when France invaded Russia and turned back when they ran out of food. They came back the next year with spaghetti, but, as would be the tragedy they forgot the meatballs and had to go all the way back, before successfully invading Moscow.
