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?
In "The Doomsday Syllogism," Peter McLoughlin presents a compelling examination of history's inescapable patterns and the illusion of power. Building on his previous work, "The Pattern of History," McLoughlin argues that every great civilization ultimately faces the war it strives to avoid, and today, that dreaded conflict is nuclear holocaust. Through a blend of historical analysis and philosophical insight, this book challenges readers to rethink the fundamental drivers of conflict and the nature of power itself. By accepting the inevitability of our fate, McLoughlin offers a paradoxical path to potentially avert it, urging us to embrace powerlessness as the true means to find unity and peace. "The Doomsday Syllogism" is an essential read for those seeking to understand the deeper forces shaping our world and the potential future that awaits humanity.

The Doomsday Syllogism
History comes down to a simple syllogism: every empire/great civilization eventually gets the war it seeks to avoid; today, everyone wants to avoid WW III; therefore, nuclear holocaust is the fate that awaits humanity. Only by accepting that fate, is there any chance of averting it. There’s the paradox.
