The past few days my mind has been cloudied by thought of psuedo-malicious intention. I have been subconsciously brainstorming for methods to cause a lot of havoc.
Ideas such as simultaneously ingiting placed incindiary devices (thousands of them) that would be placed throughout the worlds forests. It would be an ecological disaster, blocking sunlight and sending the world into a high CO2, dreary environment. Can one imagine the implications of such an 'attack'?
Or how about genetically engineering a virus that can spread better than SARS and that would cause infertility in all men or women (it would only need to affect one gender). Since it wouldn't be killing people, it would take a long time to be detected, and by then, it would be too late to contain. In 100 years, the earths poplation would have plummeted from 6 billion to 60 million. Imagine that... Women would be a more effective target here, since there are huge sperm banks in existence. Just imagine that one day, people just realised that no children are being born (with the exception of some remote locations where the virus had no presence).
I've been going over several such near-apocolyptic scenarios in my mind as of late. I'm not malicious enough to ever do anything like that, in fact I'd like to see myself on the other side of the events - building the bunkers and mechanisms to preserve ourselves in such an eventuality. Perhaps I end up working in a gov't agency defending against just such an outcome.
That notwithstanding, I can't help but think about these things recently. If a terrorist group wanted to make a less direct statement - a more malicious statement, what would they do...
Anyway folks. Be safe.
