Tue, 21 Mar 2006 21:46:27 +0000 http://tajikistan.neweurasia.net/2005/12/08/cominganarchy-bayat-article/#comment-247 [...] Recently we have been discussing emergence and 5GW and the threat of leaderless resistance. Emergence is extremely difficult to detect, and theoretically a dissident community could be identified where there is none. Curtis suggests we might be able to identify truly disconnected agents if they “begin warring on each other.” Thinking about the question of “Does my perceived enemy really exist?” I was reminded of a post I did last year about Bay’at, the terrorist group that isn’t (also reproduced here by James of neweurasia.net). We won’t know for some time (maybe), but this could be an example of “emergence dissonance.” Or simply it could be another example of an authoritarian regime manufacturing justification to crack down on political enemies. At this point, it’s anybody’s call. What say you? [...] […] Recently we have been discussing emergence and 5GW and the threat of leaderless resistance.
