[heheh] never claimed to be a futurist or "breakthrough theorist," but as this article made clear, he was an incredibly clear and analytical thinker who cd track trends and impartially draw conclusions from evidence with amazing accuracy.<BR/><BR/>Put it another way: have you seen another 24-year-old essay on a big controversial subject that so strikingly hit so many nails on the head?<BR/><BR/>Had Dr. Jastrow made comparable projections and analyses from a liberal slant with the same accuracy, his passing would have merited at least 10 minutes on each of the nightly newscasts for r4 nights running. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and did you know in the past 7 years he was also a big global warming SKEPTIC? Another corrupt hack bought off by the oil companies, as Al Gore wd tell us, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>BTW, you can buy the whole 1984 essay for $2.95 on the Commentary website, and really get the full flavor of this man's brilliance. I remember when I read it back then, and thinking: "With minds like this on our side, there's no way the Reds are going to beat us."Jewish Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704379332151214452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585230548913609409.post-12146930366025044122008-02-26T03:14:00.000-08:002008-02-26T03:14:00.000-08:00Great post.People fear American power in complex a...Great post.<BR/><BR/>People fear American power in complex and contradictory ways, it seems to me. You're right, however, this man should receive great credit. <BR/><BR/>I have no idea how original his thoughts were or whether he was simply smart enough to spot the wisdom in what was possible through research and development.
