Thucydides Trap.

In his history of the Peloponnesian War (431 - 401 BC), historian and general of Athens, Thucydides kept an accurate record of the war, fought between Sparta and Athens. He is thought to be the father of how historical records are kept – just a cold recording of events, rather than introducing other ideas such as the intervention of the Gods. Thucydides stated that “What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the fear which this caused in Sparta.” This idea that a rising power could inspire an established power to go to war with the rising power, was named the Thucydides Trap, by historian and philosopher Graham Tillett Allison, Jr. (born March 23, 1940). It is now taught across many military academies across the world. This idea has been linked to the rise of China and how it threatens the established power, the US and how the Thucydides Trap will befall both these powers, leading some commentators to say that the US and China are heading for war. Tensions over tr...

What Is The Social Weather Project?

By -
It is a study of macro human behaviour, using just two sets of data. 1) income and 2) location. This Facebook group has been set up to establish whether there would be enough volunteers willing to add their anonymised data. In the data collection, backroom administrators and researchers will not be able to access name and address details of volunteers. Volunteers would have to manually update their salary details at least once a year and location data would move directly from their phone and onto the app on their phones and then into the data sets. Tens of thousands of people would have to take part to make the system work. There would be two vectors. One would be location which would be in the horizontal plane and the other would be salary converted into USD and then converted again into altitude, using one dollar to a pixel. So someone entering $25,000 yearly income, would be 25,000 pixels up within the 3D model. The 3D model would then be fed into a live animation on a website, w...

The Truth Will Overwhelm You.

One day, in some far off place and time, someone, or maybe some humanoid AI robot, will make a discovery about the universe and its origins, purpose and inner workings which will be so overwhelming, terrifying and wonderful, that once you get it, once you understand it, it will make you cry. And not just welling up a little. A long exhaling wail. Loud and long. The hairs on your whole body will stand up on end, a massive total body, tingling sensation will pass through you. I know this because I have already seen the truth. I know little about it. I just don’t know how to get to the truth. It is shrouded, covered in the thick fog of understanding and confusion. I can feel it, I have seen it, but the science that is needed to bring to a wider audience is missing. Maybe I’m not smart enough, or maybe I don’t have the cosmological and physics knowledge to piece it together? I know that God is at the centre of it. But he is not a person or a being, or a he. It is an ‘it’. It has no need fo...
