Truly Formless 5GW: Comment

Robb, John. "I’d like to offer an alternative to the above...." Coming Anarchy. March 11, 2006. http://cominganarchy.com/2006/03/10/truly-formless-5gw/#comment-73234 (accessed September 8, 2007).

John Robb, responding to a comment left by Arherring that states might use 5GW to combat 4GW networks — through the use of viral memes? — offers an alternative interpretation: fifth-generation warriors, called here by John Robb “GG’s” (“global guerrillas”), may

ignore the decision making of the government entirely (their entire OODA loop) and focus directly on the population/economy.

In effect, this would shut down states as viable actors for 5GW and also leave them unable to defend against 5GW [ed.: implication added.]
