Aggressive
nuclear war seemed to make everyone losers with various M.A.D. policy
scenarios. First-strike biological attacks on global population with
select portions immunized seems to be a winning scenario, and
technology advances such as drones that would make aerial delivery of
virus to formerly remote areas of the globe practical for world
conquerors on a small budget along with the profusion of recombinant
D.N.A. research and computer aided design tools present challenges to
contain.
Given
enough people capable of perpetrating democide per capita the odds
are that in time some individual or group will take a first-strike op
on everyone else. The dynamics of failing to use the window of
opportunity works against those of a morally righteous nature and
Christians of course. While assurances that government is competent
to secure safety are plentiful (the Bill Clinton administration told
the public that U.S. intelligence was so good that they would know
way in advance of any actual attack-even while K.S.M. and Osama Bin
Ladin were firming up their plans), the broad dispersion of tools for
making weapons of mass destruction to reduce world population to 25
million or so seem to becoming saturated. PhDs in biology and drone
rentals in the next quarter century appear to be an emergent danger.
