New insight: They can’t blow up your buildings if you don’t have any buildings to begin with, can they? Genius.
Do you hate having your stuff blown up by terrorists non-stop?
Yeah.
Me too.
I really wish we’d do something about that. I used to have all sorts of goofy solutions, like not letting terrorists in our base, but then I learned that some smart dudes have already come up with all the ultimate solutions.
And the best part?
We only have to rebuild our entire civilization to be more like a desert nomad’s.
To fight terrorist networks, we need to understand them and learn from them. Obviously that doesn’t mean training to become terrorists ourselves. But we can learn from the way many terrorist organizations operate – via highly networked, decentralized connections. This kind of setup has a lot in common with the networked way in which many of us will live and work in the decades ahead.
In order to fight terrorism, we have to become like them. Gotcha.
Woah, there, sonny, that’s going a bit too far.
I am an architect and urban designer by training and so I leave it to policymakers and defense strategists to contemplate what this means militarily. I want to focus on what I know: the target side of the equation. How can we reduce the targets of terrorism, getting rid of concentrations of people of a particular type to reduce the likelihood of a devastating strike? How can we rethink our cities and our buildings so that instead of trying to fortify our architectural bull’s-eyes, we eliminate them with a denser weave of diverse activities across a metropolitan area?
Designing away targets, not fortifying them
The idea of doing away with the targets of large concentrations of people doing the same type of activity may seem like a restraint of Americans’ freedom, a violation of the First Amendment right to “peaceably assemble” in whatever kind of conglomeration we choose. But it’s really a call for us to assemble in new ways, aided by digital technology, so we can do so with peace of mind.
Put these on, goy, they’ll keep your ankles nice and safe.
Taleb contrasts the familiar U.S. urban landscape with the Arab bazaar or souk. Comprising a network of small shops along covered streets, without any center or clear boundaries, there are multiple ways in and out. Souks might seem more vulnerable to attack, given their accessibility. Such complex webs of human activity, however, are also highly resilient – not just economically because of their diversity of small businesses, but also militarily because of their distributed nature.
These people are so stupid, that they would rather restructure all of our urban infrastructure, at the cost of trillions of dollars, than contemplate simply getting rid of the actual terrorists.
And the funny part is that the model to be emulated is that of the enemies themselves. They literally want to raise the West to the ground and erect a vast Middle-Eastern bazaar instead.
No thanks, HuffPo. No thanks.
