“Scientists believe that species evolve primarily via interorganismic competition because these scientists live in highly competitive, individualistic societies? But so do you. Perhaps this is why you think that social forces determine the beliefs that scientists happen to have.”

“For an Asian concert to be even remotely acceptable to its great-power members, we must rule out the idea of it being built on liberal principles.”

“It is a vital necessity for Australia to remain on friendly terms with Jakarta as Indonesia fulfills its potential as a great power. Failure to do so would be strategically disastrous. An Indonesia that is both wealthy and hostile to Australia would represent the biggest challenge to our security since World War II, much more serious than the threat China presently poses. If Indonesia was our enemy, we would join Israel, South Korea and the central European states bordering Russia as some of the least secure in the world, with the highest risk of conflict.”

“Given the recent remarkable advances in artificial intelligence, scouting will probably involve “algorithmic warfare,” with competing AI systems plowing through vast amounts of data to identify patterns of enemy behavior that might elude human analysts. Identifying enemy operational tendencies may also aid commanders in employing their forces more effectively, similar to the way the introduction of operations research aided the allies in identifying effective convoy operations during the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II.30 AI could potentially assist efforts to develop malware, which could be used to erase or corrupt enemy scouting information, including the enemy’s AI algorithms themselves. If these efforts are successful, enemy commanders may lose confidence in their scouts, producing a “mission kill,” in which much of the enemy’s scouting force continues to operate but where its product is suspect.”
