Here we go again, bring the skeletons out of the cupboard. You can’t have it both ways! We are either offering juicy #nuclear #targets or we’re protected from attack by the expanse of #oceans. Both, of course, are spurious argument and unlikely porte-manteaux to advance an obvious cause.

I don’t wish to explain, yet again, why armchair strategists ought not spread platitudes because of a lack of research into a matter. Sure, express an opinion, by all means. I’ll listen and ponder accordingly. But when someone feeds me BS, It will not be constructive.

"An ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility."

"A technocratic approach can also be self-defeating in policy terms. Render the future too concrete and it becomes harder to think about far-reaching structural change. In the language of the anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, an ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility. Moreover, the precision of targets can make failures more glaring, as goals are missed and deadlines pass.This weakens commitment in adversity – a point made by sympathetic critics of a climate agenda centred on “hitting the carbon numbers”. Arguably one of the preconditions of radical politics is an element of imprecision. The anticolonial thinker and activist Frantz Fanon once warned of the “curious cult of detail” that could afflict the scientific mindset in politics, causing its bearer to lose sight of the bigger picture: “Thus, if a local defeat is inflicted, he may well be drawn into doubt, and from thence to despair.”" Jonathan White
