>>Sun Tzu says: “Those skilled at making the enemy move do so by creating a situation to which he must conform.” He says, moreover, that “ …a skilled commander seeks victory from the situation and does not demand it from his subordinates.” In other words, victory should occur with the same ease that a boulder rolls down a hill. And for the same reason! Because the hyperspace in the cosmological neighborhood of the boulder is curved in such a way that it rolls down the hill of its own accord: gravity -- not as Newton saw it, but as Einstein did! It is not a matter of application of force to the physical body of the boulder; it is a matter of the event-gradients established in the hyperspace.

Would seem to be China's method. And why not, who would know Sun Tzu better?

>>> "imo, our current situation is completely newtonian and there fore.......the black swan everyones bet on...is subject to review
The Black Swan has become an adopted shared meme, large numbers of folks are betting on the swan being black, at some impending moment. So Mr Tailibs idea has that magnetic property of animistic invitation, which draws statistical probability folks to the problem in hopes of a big pay day. " <<<

> Magnetic property of animistic invitation <

Good phrase.

That magnetic property can increase the chance of the rare event, or decrease the chance.

If 90% of the people store a year of food because they are worried about future hunger, the chances of future hunger drop.
