Response to GGs as 5GW
Some late night thoughts on Curtis dismissing GGs as 5GW –
The reason that Robb’s theory has repeatedly sustained charges of incoherency is simply that he has not considered angels, or superempowered builders of order and stability, even while accidentally suggesting something similar via his three pillars of GG: a bazaar of violence, black globalization, and virtual states.
These “angels” are still over the horizon and can only come into play when an existential imperative is in place (brought about by these “demons”). And when they do come about they’ll be acting on a micro scale (a tribal world is a fragmented world). And “demons” will have a competitive advantage – experience, and it’s easier to destroy than to create.
Robb’s GG will be the inept ones: causing perturbations will be the easy part, but accomplishing the new rule-sets may be beyond them.
At a small enough scale rule-sets can be immediately created and implemented.
