Hmmm…that is interesting. I would think that now the vast majority of fiction about superweapons would be one where they blew up the Earth.

So you read, eh? Lots then?

I’m thinking about getting into that habit…

two times is a charm.

ok.

any more?

bombing to control. bombing to destroy. bombing to kill.

here’s something.

almost all early fiction of the superweapon (turns out to be nuclear weapons) was about the superweapon being used to save civilization.

the history of bombing is really not about bombs. it’s funny that i assumed that when picking up the book. it’s really about people’s attitudes about bombing, the ability to bomb, why to bomb, the ability of bombs, hating to bomb, having to bomb, not hating to bomb, bombing to bomb, bombing for leverage, bombing to hit military objectives, military objectives becoming civilian moral, bombing civilians

i’ll say more later. steve’s up for a smoke

Thank you for your generous contributions to history, WM.

May the fools of today learn from your lack of mistakes in the past.

Of course Aristotle was Greek, and as such excluded Greece from Europe. Greece was thought then, as well as today by many leading scholars, to be the center of the universe, the origin of knowledge.

I have spent a great deal of my life teaching classical greek scholars about what really happened back then.
