Thank you. Well, as there appears to be no evidence that any efforts that he might have made to do so resulted in success, the answer would appear to be no.

Well, as the tides are clearly a metaphor, you could argue that Knut ended the Dark Ages! As for our Antipodean Knut, to his credit, Sydney has clearly embraced new digital technology and spearheaded a renaissance of 'classical' civilisation all around the world. Perhaps our Antipodean Knut has ended the new Dark Ages, too!

Perhaps our Antipodean Knut has ended the new Dark Ages, too! He has undoubtedly done that, although the fact that he does so alongside some of the more questionable and at times bizarre of his statements about currency, national borders, women et al might seem to suggest that he has one foot in each of two very different camps...

I too am not convinced that Sydney has the right answers, ahinton, but both the nature and use of money, nationality and gender are great and enduring issues of our time.

They are indeed, of course but have surely been so for a considerable time. As to whether or to what extent Sydney might have "the right answers", it might not seem entirely unreasonable first to consider whether or to what extent any such answers might be seeking to respond to the right questions...
