Well, her plan basically boils down to "I'm going to end all war by getting rid of flight."Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Which A. Completely ignores the fact that war has existed since long before people could fly. As Caspar said, if they can't fight with planes, they'll fight with ships, if they can't fight with ships, they'll use tanks, no tanks, then swords, etc.
And B. Her plan really only prevents computer aided flight. Jormungand is a supercomputer that hacks other computers. So you can still fly as long as you don't use a computer to do it. Last time I checked, we managed to nuke two of Japan's cities during WW2 without a plane with a computer on it.
Her plan also seems to be based around this philosophy that people will look up at birds in the sky, realize they can't fly anymore and somehow feel shamed into not having war with each other anymore. Which is a gross misunderstanding of how people work. People didn't look at birds and feel shame, they looked at birds and felt envy, that's how we GOT flying in the first place. Unless Jormungand takes place on some kind of bizzarro earth where people are completely different.
