Chomsky makes an interesting point about how the U.S. military names weaponry after vanquished foes and their artifacts (e.g., Apache helicopter, Tomahawk missile).
So I make this call first:
- in 20 years when the U.S. military
can deploy networked/armed decentralized
P2P microweapons with explosive, chemical,
and nano agents, such a network will be
named the "Al Qaeda Swarm"
- to introduce new programming/objectives to
this decentralized network will be termed
"upgrading its bin Laden"
P.S.: my wife, a psychologist, hates Chomsky. As she puts it, he savaged Skinner's behaviorist approach to psychology. When Skinner didn't refute Chomsky's objections to the behaviorist approach because he was sure nobody took Chomsky seriously, Chomsky and his cohort took it as an admission of defeat.
