Pingback: The Masses Crave Discipline | Neoreactive
South Park made an episode on that dog trainer years ago.
“…They would have immediately had an astute and accurate understanding of what an Iraq without Saddam would be like…”
I think they knew exactly what they were doing. The attack on Iraq was to divide Iraq into a bunch of quarreling mini-states so they would not threaten Israel. Paul Bremer in every case when he ruled Iraq made decisions that would do just that.
If that were there objective, they fail all the same. The ISIS faction that filled the vacuum is the direct result of their short-sighted, naive policies.
ISIS leadership is made up heavily of people from the Iraqi Army, recommended reading:

It’s likely that Saddam would of lost power eventually, but when we stepped in we had to find a way to fill the void. Feuding between the Pentagon and the State department, a lack of clear goal or strategy and an unwillingness to enforce the rule of law until it was too late gave the former Iraqi Army members the space they needed to form into what they are now.
How does one know if one is truly a freeman by nature, or merely fooling oneself? Are there some good indicators and tests?
For starters, to even begin to ask certain types of questions and show curiosity is a key sign someone isn’t normal. I’ve lived in all walks of life and have worked very humble jobs around ordinary people. Experience tells me that the majority of people are incurious by nature with minimal capacity for critical thinking. They are what they are.
Many disastrous social policies come from upper middle class types who are insulated and don’t understand most people out there aren’t anything like them.
I eventually want to write a rough guide of “easy disqualifiers” that could serve as general heuristics. What I mean is how we get a rough sense of what type of person someone is within 30 seconds of seeing their facebook page, what their room looks like, what their interests and hobbies are, or just hear their speech patterns and see their mannerisms.
Sorting people could actually be pretty easy.
So curiosity is the mark of a free man?
I would agree, but I think there are more marks.
Agency would be one.
Curiosity + agency = someone who sees a weird cow-path in the forest, and actually wanders off to follow it. Ends up finding a cool meadow full of magic mushrooms, or a witch’s abandoned den full of cool spell-books, or what have you. While the rest of the party goes the established route and ends up at the trading town where they intended to go.
Yeah, something like this. It shouldn’t be too hard to come up with a reasonably simple formula that works most of the time and refine over time against results.
A friend of mine showed me this indy game called “The Stanley Parable.” That’s a personality rorschach test of a game if I ever saw one. I naturally ended up defying the narrator any way I could think of and I found that actually was a legitimate branch on their tree of possibilities with its own ending. I was a fan of Morrowind back in the day because it really encouraged and rewarded random exploration and had endless sidequests. I don’t think I even focused on the main quest that much but spent awhile just exploring the islands off the Telvanni coast.
If we had to sort some people tomorrow, I think we’d predictably find rts, moba, and rpg players consistently in a different league from madden football and call of duty.
