5GW Theory Timeline

A link fest linking to many more items than can be displayed below.

Mark Safranski ponders two ideas introduced by Dan tdaxp of the blog tdaxp:  that 5GW will target an enemy’s intellectual strength, and that secrecy will be key in fifth generation warfare.

General approval is given to these ideas for describing what is likely for fifth generation warfare, with the caveat:  that those two aspects of 5GW “may end up [to] be less significant than aspects of 5GW that have yet to materialize.” Mark Safranski links the scope of societal changes with the advancement to 5GW in the xGW model while implying that exact predictions of what these societal changes will be are difficult to make. Indeed, future societal changes “may favor defense over offense.”

Additionally, fifth generation warriors may in fact implement their changes “from above” but not as a result of revolution; rather, “by moving up through legitimate channels to implement an invisible evolution from above.”
