It was an honor to encounter Genku on X and to be able to embrace his wisdom and interact with such a fascinating figure. Here are some of his memorable posts…

The elite class in tennis that runs & controls the tennis world (the tennis establishment & media) sees the players as commodities (& the fans as “circus” audience who pay) and treat them in a manner not much better than (ancient Roman) gladiators.

*****

The same globalist power structure (or cult) that was behind the corona virus hoax also controls the world of sports including tennis (a “circus” in “Bread & Circuses”) just as it controls the world of entertainment (another “circus”). Novak Djokovic, a Serb, follows his own principles and conscience, and never obeys the globalist cult blindly. Even before the covid hoax, through disadvantageous draws and scheduling, they had consistently tried to deprive him of GS & Masters titles. An “IF” discussion is meaningless but the number might or could have been higher than 28.

*****

Sinner is like a king arrogated to the throne by the courtiers without real qualification. Being protected from and having lost contact with reality, the king starts to believe that he has the power. A self-serving courtier (Cahill) sees the danger to his own status in the kingdom and prepares to save himself in case of the king’s possible dethronement. And of course, there are rich merchants with real power (“money is power”) behind all this controlling them all for their own profit and benefit. If and when the king loses their favor, he will be dethroned.

Novak Djokovic, in his luminous career and life, has overcome virtually all the challenges that have arisen before him, some of which seemed insuperable. And now he has the challenge of aging and all that come with it. “The Law of Nature and Nature’s God” is immutable, while “Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed” (Francis Bacon). We will bear witness to how Djokovic will command nature by obeying the immutable law of nature. When Djokovic retires from professional tennis, my interest in the sport will significantly diminish, especially if the tennis establishment continues to serve Mammon and its systemic corruption remains unchecked and unabated (which is the most likely scenario). However, my interest in Djokovic the man will not diminish at all. He is a truly great young man in a state and process of inceasing growth and development. He is larger than life and is definitely larger than tennis. I look forward to, and I will surely enjoy, beholding what he will be and what he will do in his post-tennis life.

Yes, tennis is a mental game, but mentality alone does not make a GOAT. This kind of reductionist thinking prevails. People simplistically explain away a complex behavior of the whole by reducing it to a single cause. The behavior of the whole is the SYNERGY of serve, return, forehand, backhand, volley, smash, slice, etc. combined within the player’s mentality and mental strength in the highly mental game of tennis. No single factor can explain why someone is better or the best. Buckminster Fuller defines SYNERGY in his SYNERGETICS: “Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their subsystems taken separately and observed apart from the whole.” Where the mentality of the player comes in can be understood by the corollary of synergy, which Fuller calls the Principle of the Whole Systems: “The known behaviors of the whole plus the known behaviors of some of the parts may make possible discovery of the presence of other parts and their behaviors . . .” The mentality (attitude, intention, strength, etc.) of the player determines the behaviors of the whole (the player) that synergetically bring together all of the elements (parts/subsystems) constituting the complex behavioral phenomenon of playing tennis. And yet, we can still never completely explain why one player won a match or why someone was able to become the GOAT. All we can say is that Djokovic had the greatest combination of all the factors and elements and that he was a man of destiny whose destiny it was to become the GOAT in Men’s Tennis.
