He was an incredibly smart man, and I’m sure this kept him up at night. If you haven’t, I would suggest going to listen/watch some interviews with him and you might get some insight as to where his mind was at.

One thing that really stuck with me was one thing he said “Failure is an inevitability of sucess”.

SARUMAN THE STINKY

These people have no concept of geo politics and global trade. For example, we produce a lot of the world’s soy, that’s a major export, not many other countries do it on a large scale like that - so we cut the other countries some slack and tell them we won’t produce this particular good so you can have a hand in the global economy. Yes having the production here would be ideal as I’m all for it, but the world is so much more than Murica and they can’t see past their fucking noses.

I like this a lot, it’s a like a penalty to stay inside and recoup for awhile as well as a check to see if you can survive with the resources you’ve saved but 3rd times the charm to seal the deal. What’s the mod name?
