#1 Whittle's Most Important Yet.

That's saying a lot but this one lives up to it.

It is apparent that almost all leftist propaganda is oriented toward undermining the logical strategy suggested in Bill's analysis: "cycle of violence" "fighting back only creates more terrorists" etc. At the same time, leftist cultural strategies are almost entirely directed toward minimizing their own accountability: "Amendment Zero" (the concept that leftists have a right to be immune to criticism and disagreement), historical revisionism, politically correct language codes, and so on.

I have maintained for some time that the current conflict is a surge point in human evolution, with all the evil and destructive forces in the
world seeming to coalesce on the same side.

The reason for this is that these forces embody traits that were acceptable or at least tolerable at some point in human history, but which have become threats to long term survival in the super-industrial age.
It was therefore inevitable that the incomparably powerful natural forces of evolutionary strategy would dictate that they be eliminated.

#4 I first read this in a Scientific American article years ago. Whittle's spot on in his analysis of the trajectory of destruction. I'm equally sure of his high level solution, but the implementation left me a bit disappointed: He's essentially positing a clone of Second Life, and the cost of the infrastructure needed to support the number of people on-line is going to be staggering. I've done some nosing around, and the infrastructure for Second Life is creaking at 10000 online.

But don't let me discourage you from reading the article. Its a thought provoker.

#5 The only problem is, Tit-for-tat has didly to do with how reciprocal cooperation works.
