It seems that this attack is being used as an opportunity for social value
patterns and those that represent those values: religions, the military,
governments, the police to take back control from the intellectual patterns
that rule our free world. I see this as a step backward, we have just come
from an unprecedented period of peace within the intellectual world because
those social patterns have been restrained. War is neither a conflict
between biological or intellectual patterns. Sure their are manifestations
within each, but the primary cause is the social patterns.
The terrorist organization that did this, a social pattern, must be crushed
indeed, but the best way of doing this is not the way we are taking to rid
the world of this poisoned giant. We cannot become paranoid and forget MOQ
altogether, our greatest weapon in this battle is the ideas that we can
plant in the minds of the people within the social giant. The ideology of
freedom to live a full life and enjoy it, the ideology of self fulfillment,
the ideology of quality, the ideology of democracy, the belief that if there
were true freedom, their lives would be better. The French revolution, The
American revolution, the communist revolution in so many countries even, in
a wave, intellectual patterns took over. The art of war says that a war can
be won without a single battle. Like the Cold War, Democracy defeated
Communism without a single direct conflict. The same can be done here. This
is a strong social pattern we are dealing with, it has the power to make
people defy all biological instincts and kill themselves for it's cause.
Only few social patterns have dominated biology to that point in all of
history, the Victorians (and their sex), the Japanese Medieval society (and
their seppuku), The Chinese empire (and their foot binding). This only means
that that they are at the point of emergence to the intellectual level. It's
true that you cannot talk biological patterns to death, but you can talk
social patterns to death, what do you think brought an end to the Victorian
era? We must push the ideas of freedom of the press, freedom of speech,
freedom of religion, women's liberation, etc. within the countries that
breed this terrorism, and let the ideas themselves explode into fruition.
That is how we rid the world of terrorism, not by pounding them down. We are
not dealing with biological patterns here, and dealing with them as such we
will never be successful. When dealing with social patterns, we can destroy
them from within. An intellectual pattern is an explosion of light that will
destroy the social giant it manifests, it will point out the flaws in the
logic, the reasons not to kill oneself for "the cause". When Nietzsche said
"God is dead" he predicted the demise of the dominant social level, for when
society doesn't have the mind of God any more than a single person does, the
intellect rules all.
I hope people get my gist
