Here is the text for this conversation:
"We are entering a field of dangerous possibilities--which is always true. The ones which ultimately will be the safest will be the most dangerous ones. Huh. Ok, an example:
"When the Cold War was at its hottest, there were 2 dangerous options: build up defenses, or nuclear disarmament. And disarmament was the more dangerous, it seemed, because it held the least control--or illusion of control--but in the end, it was the safest.
"The path to a reduction of fears will always be paved with its own fearsomeness. The appeal of the apparent often leads astray the lazy. How do you get to a quiet and easy retirement. Hard work. How do you get beyond fears. By doing some seemingly scary stuff. Not all is as it appears. If it were, you'd know it all.
And when the hawks claim you need war to achieve peace, they forget how easy war is and how hard and scary peacemaking is. Drop all of your defenses and you'll see what I mean.
"Great leaders have always been those who could drop their defenses and thus gain unimaginable power. Defend nothing; express all of value."
