Rhino -One thing that's nagged at me about the Star Wars universe is the 'Tarkin doctrine.' It is in essence that the ability to exert control though fear is more efficient in the long term than constantly having to perform medium-scale military interventions - once you've demonstrated overwhelming force. Hence the Death Star and the imperial star destroyers with jagged shapes and intimidating names. Remember that the Empire has vast industrial capacity and thousands of ships. That's all very well with ships like Executor and Malevolence, but eventually run out of these high-level collywobblers and move down the list of professions and emotions. Are potentially rebellious star systems going to be cowed by Auditor and Sarcasm, let alone Telephone Sanitiser and Ennui?

Related: Guys who worked on the 787-Dreamliner assembly line refusing to fly on them.A group of professors were invited to a plane, and after they were seated, they were told that the plane was designed by their students. As a result, all the professors got off the plane, and only one professor sat there motionless. Someone asked him why he didn't dare to go down quickly, and he said, "Don't worry, this plane can't fly at all."
That's the haggis too.I remember a story about another mythical animal of Scotland, an ungulate quadruped with right legs shorter than the left ones evolved to run (always to the left) on the mountainous slopes. The tactic of the hunters was to scare them into changing direction and rolling down to be captured in nets.![]()

Is this that, "other ways of knowing" that was all the rage a couple years back?
It's worse than that. I think that's pretty much the "reasoning" of this whole generation in a nutshell...Is this that, "other ways of knowing" that was all the rage a couple years back?![]()
