I still think we overemphasize the threat of terrorism and it plays directly I to the neocons narrative. I wish we stopped playing their game. If you're worried about someone, reach out to them directly. I can see the value of this in case of a tragedy that affects thousands but not here.
- Jtsummers 11y agoThat doesn't obviate the need to communicate with others (whose concern is rational or not). The communication systems after things like this are down because of (according to you and others here) irrational people concerned about those they love and care about. A system like this has applications to any sort of disaster, and one of the primary benefits is in reversing the order of communication. Instead of 10s of people contacting each resident and swamping both the person and the network, the resident can push information out to the global network. They communicate one time (ok, practically this isn't sufficient to communicate their status to everyone and some will still call them or reach out via other channels), and everyone that cares can check on their status.
- oldmanjay 11y agoWhile it's very important to use tragedy to further your political agenda you should note that neocons don't hold power now yet the government is still "playing their game" with terrorism events.
- Grishnakh 11y agoWhat are you talking about? The Republicans control Congress, and Obama is a neocon-lite. And as for the upcoming election, Hillary is a full-up neocon and warmonger.
