The habit of committing our thoughts to writing is a powerful means of expanding the mind, and producing a logical and systematic arrangement of our views and opinions. It is this which gives the writer a vast superiority, as to the accuracy and extent of his conceptions, over the mere talker. No one can ever hope to know the principles of any art or science thoroughly who does not write as well as read upon the subject.
William Blaikie

And it hasn't finished collapsing, by the way.

Strategically, it is that same paradoxical logic that transforms victories into defeats if they merely persist long enough to pass their culminating point, whether by overextension or by bringing others into the fray, or both. And there is much more of the same, at every level of struggle, from the clash of weapons to the clash of empires, and in peace as well as in war. Always and everywhere it is the paradoxical logic of strategy that determines outcomes, whether the protagonists know of its existence or not.
Edward Luttwak
-
It's a tract against capital punishment in the genre of Swift's Modest Proposal. I was simply following a formula to its logical conclusion. Some people appear to have understood it. The publication of Naked Lunch in England practically coincided with their abolition of capital punishment. The book obviously had a certain effect.
