I've just studied this text, and whilst i went into it with an open mind, i find your typical "yank" writing style or using too many big words to explain things, detracts from what could be a well written piece of journalism.
I fully expect to get flamed for this, but opinions are like ********s, everybody's got one.

i don't get why libertarians are supposed to be offended
modern psychology demonstrates that the classic summum bonums of typical lolbertarians are bs
objectivists/randians worship rationality, humans aren't only irrational but in many ways it is impossible for us to force ourselves into a rational mindest
lolbertarians of the nonrandian type often espouse the joys of a self-regulating 'free market' and behavioral economics blows bloody gaping holes in that
some nonrandian lolbertarians hold 'free will' to be their highest good, justifying both smoking pot and capitalism through it, the only problem is that 'free will' doesn't exist given how irrational and easily manipulated humans are, let's not even begin to touch on the number of inherent flaws in cognition which render free will a dangerous ideal
A "self regulating" free market leads to the current global economic slow down and the "boom & bust" cycle.
Individual "free will" does exist, however it is belittled by "the mob" which turns people into sheep.

i deliberately avoid analogies to real-life combat as eve is much more analagous to a no-contact sport than war. this is why quoting sun tzu about eve is such a laughingstock: no one gets killed or risks death and everyone can escape negative situations in eve simply by logging off
I don't think you believe this for a minute. The people your skullduggery works best against are those that are emotionally involved with this game, and that care deeply about their internet spaceship assets. I don't think failure cascades are possible without this emotional involvement. Then again, it's pretty hard to build and maintain a strong 0.0-space holding alliance without it either...
It is the overriding failing in all successful people/pilots/workers. Their passion isboth their greatest asset and at the same time their greatest failing

goonswarm's ability to abandon all of its territory and invade delve on one day's notice came from having a dictator ceo
i agree, a council govt is much less able to react quickly to unfolding events
Does this mean the the failscade is a possibility (at some future date) now that just over 50% of the membership of GS is not in goonfleet?
