Most of the conversation that I have about the war to come is all about whether Bush or any of the key players really knows what they are doing.
Did the world's leaders know that they were doing in 1914? Maybe huge "tectonic" forces are taking us to the bifurcation point?
As I went back to this article of mine, I have begun to wonder if it is possible to rationalize this type of event. Surely in 1914, the pressures for the overthrow of the Feudal system by the industrial system had reached such a point? Denied a breakout in 1848, they had reached such a head of steam by 1914 that it took a 40 year European civil war and the emergence of the great industrial power, America, to resolve.
I am feeling that we stand at the end of the industrial age and that if we do not hit the wall now, it is only a matter of time. The longer we bottle it all up the bigger the bang. We are surely in the "critical" stage of a bifurcation event. Not only is peace fragile, but so are all our institutions. So is the weather, the markets, our health. It will not take much to knock it all over. That is the essence of understanding Chaos.
