The Doomsday Syllogism
Peter McLoughlin
Every great nation eventually faces the war it fears most and seeks to avoid. That’s as true today as any other time in history. We stand on the abyss of another world war. Can our fate be changed – or is humanity doomed?
There is a pattern to history.The pattern foretells the future: denying the pattern fulfils it. Humans attribute too much to power – but power is an illusion – and we will only find the answer to our problems in its opposite: powerlessness.

Only by accepting that fate, is there any chance of averting it. There’s the paradox.
