Hi Caitlin, We so value those like you who are honest and intelligent in their interpretations and driven to make a difference. That being said, I believe you need also to understand my point of view. I honestly believe in my interpretation that the victory will not be accomplished by direct action, but through indirect action. Rather than battle on the enemies field of choice against the advantages they posses. We simply change the game and the playing field. People like Kristol sad as it is, are seen as leaders.. The reality and the future we need is one in which these “leaders” become obsolete and irrelevant. What I hope for is a world unavailable only 30 years ago, but now a possibility. Technology can enable us to refine and define human intelligence and understanding. In my world view human logic and rational fail us all as they live in servitude of the individual, the self, the needs and wants of individual men and women. That is what this article is all about is it not? Individuals serving their needs by perverting human logic and reason to achieve their own goals. We battle; as you do, as individuals with our individual perspectives of logic and reason. Who judges? Who mediates? We rely or hope that individuals will process the Information and perspective as we see them, as we present them. We believe we are in the “right”, though this may not even be true at times. What I hope you see is that there is a process here. A very primitive process ( we are primitive man are we not) that will get us all killed in the twenty-first century. The terms “I think” and “think tank” will seem antiquated almost ridiculous in a world of Collective intelligence enabled by technology. A world where human logic and reason are moderated by human logic and reason. We cannot continue to limp along into the future with our greatest asset, our ability to put forth the logic and reason of intelligent beings, clouded in the murk of self. I am only an idea man. My goal here is to add a new perspective. One that people of talent can grasp onto and build for the future of us all.
