Tbh, i am enjoying your arguments as such!
> barring some sort of total worldwide wipe of electronic data, the information and knowledge will still be out there
Isn't the world shifting in its warfare strategies ? We fought with different tools at different times. But the modern warfare seems to be moving towards misinformation, destruction of information etc ?
> I'd say it's inevitable that over time, humans will re-centralize and re-organize.
Agreed! It seems that eventually we would have to re-organize!
> Civilizations seem to benefit from having competition, as long as they don't destroy / are destroyed by them. It's a fine balance.
Agree with this one too, but i am more worried about generations that would follow us. It is a very fine balance indeed, hope humanity treads it with reason :)
