The Doomsday Syllogism (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

History comes down to a simple syllogism: every empire/great civilization eventually gets the war it seeks to avoid; today, everyone wants to avoid WW III; therefore, nuclear holocaust is the fate that awaits humanity. Only by accepting that fate, is there any chance of averting it. There's the paradox.

Only by accepting that fate, is there any chance of averting it. There's the paradox.

There is a pattern to history*. The pattern foretells the future: denying the pattern fulfils it. Humans attribute too much to power but power is an illusion and we will only find the answer to our problems in its opposite: powerlessness.

*For more on this, read my previous book, The Pattern of History.
