Ironically, RI's goal is so huge and so all-encompassing that it cannot succeed if only because of the size of its ambitions. This is an interesting paradox and the key to defusing and defeating it.

I agree with that, but would suggest that part of diffusing it is to make enough of them fat and happy that they put aside the impossible dream. Focus on beating them back may wear them out but it also makes them mad martyrs. It's necessary to give them a way to change horses without losing face. Simply beating them back leads to continued anger and frustration.

If we want to win by fighting them, then we have to be more brutal and crush them. If we're not prepared to be that brutal, then we need to show them a way out that works for them and for us.
