Assassination Politics AP

[grarpamp]

Murder has been around since humanity, same as war
and all other concoctions of immoral force initiated, so
AP is not really any sort of new news upon the world.
Whether it come from Tyrant King, be distributed by
"democracy" as "law", or goes down in a back alley,
of the intertubes... makes little difference there.

And like nuclear weapons, in time someone would
have thought it up, and many will attempt to tinker
with such gadgets until finding the magic combination
that goes boom. Old news.

What is interesting is that AP depends on a
first proof of concept in order to have any
future influence capability. And that each
higher level of influence via its own 1st PoC
adds efficacy surety to all levels of influence
below it. Yet given some experience the world
already has with diabolical machines, and AP
being such a machine, proving in AP may be
unlikely to ever reach murder level, particularly
if lower levels are already providing effective influence
in widespread fashion upon society... the threat of
an already functional system may deter.
ie: AP may be no more "scary" than already nukes,
kings, governments, law, thugs, etc. And might
end up being more moral.

Assuming that one of the levels of influence
may in fact end up being a murder, consider also
that it may be quite unlikely that any sort of
anarchist, libertarian, voluntaryist, etc
would ever take part in its design and operation
due to their superceding belief in the NAP.

Alternatively, consider how millions of others
in world would surely accept a single instance
of proof as necessary to achieve otherwise
peaceful influences thereafter. Thus this cohort
may be far more likely to be the gadgeteers.

In general, consider the various lines of rational
or irrational thinking required to actually launch
such a device. And that history certainly shows
politicians love to develop and launch such
colossal weapons against each other.

Analysis of AP question seems quite related to
nuclear M.A.D. question, game theory, etc.
