Great article Paul and JF Anon. Now I have 100 new questions. 😂
The wars seem to contradict this unless over population could cause extinction. But then we killed off the ones who got up and did something and we kept the couch potatoes. 🤔😵💫
Destructive as it is, war presents opportunities. Think long term. Would a dominating military be useful to WH? Absent war, how would such a thing be accomplished, especially in the isolationist context of the time (both times, actually)?
deception is also a major attribute. why was the northern flank of France left completely unprotected by the Maginot line? Why did the japanese military pour thousands into waiting machine guns, why did hitler turn away from the oil fields and Moscow when they were in view? military occupation provides an iron curtain for narrative and information control.
What's wrong with being under the bus? Indiana Jones did it, albeit it wasn't a bus but a German troop transport. And if I recall correctly, ol' Indiana took control of that transport.
come to think of it… My dodge is a diesel, just like those transports, and they were in a very unpopulated area similar to Wyoming. maybe i should go by deserttransport instead… I think you’re on to something.
Exactly! Indy survived to tell the tale! I threw my kids under the bus many times! How else do they “grow” and learn to think responsibly? In fact when my son and his friends skipped school to play video games all day, at my house….🙄, I came home from work to the principal at my door. Their punishment which I thought was fitting….they got to WASH the BUS(es)! All of them. Love the article, and the humor…keep it coming!
I guess doing the “right” thing always has the risk of collateral damage. You choose the lesser evil for the best good outcome. It’s difficult being human and juggling emotional and logical thinking. It’s the Spock dilemma.
Ironically, the Spock character regularly showed that he didn't take emotional thinking into account but was rational in every other way. This overall behavior isn't logical, because to ignore certain possibilities -- irrational or not -- is irrational.
Methinks that days long, highly annoying thread last week that truly was getting on my last nerve after being unfortunate enough to be tagged on each and every reply, was an experiment...research re: humanity and how far they’d go to be right!
true (and here comes the but…) there has not been a major blood letting war since its inception. Major down sides of course, emotional raging being one, but on the flip, it makes projection much easier and highly efficient. i suppose it would be like a big pile of cow shit you use to fertilize your vegetable garden. I suppose that’s the idealist in me though.
This idiot has totally lost his mind this time.
What a phag. Disappointing.
Pound salt, fucker.
You're a phag
Takes one to know one, pederast.

Remember that the Prussians gained enormous amounts of power before they could be put down. Evil rears its ugly head and causes damage.
True, it needs to be kept in check. Thanks!

I welcome being forced under the bus.

Thank you Jeff!
Soon we'll start throwing our commenters under the bus! (Out of love, of course...)
Knitting my under the bus hammock now. 😳
im already under the bus
Glad I read this a second time. totally missed the part in the post script about JFanon being ghey.
Yeah, he's a total fag.

What a stunning article. I love the contemplation and the possibility of all of this. Well done sir!
Why thank you. That's high praised coming from you...

I agree 100%.
Emotional thinking is sad.
+1 for recursive insight!

Life is hard. Choose your behavior carefully.
Sooo, the end does justify the means?
Only if done altruistically.
Yes. If the overall goal is a net win, then all of the steps used to get there will be seen as justified.
How could it be any different? The logic works at any scale.

With that said, this, as usual, is brilliant!
Love you guys, Mean it! 💕
Onward through the phog! 😂
Social media is truly horrific.
