A right to defense is different from a right to survive.

then patchwork doesn't seem to follow if we accept the strange notion that cultures have rights
Yay, I mean 'rights', as in justification that people are more or less willing to accept.

-
even then, doesn't seem like patchwork is based on the acceptance of justifications in any way, even if they are possible between cultures, which is also dubious (isn't this why patchwork is a ""thing"" to begin with?)
-
I thought patchwork *was* the 'death-match by natural selection'?
-
It is. Trying to make patchwork inevitable.
-
yeah my point sort was, if there are rights and agreeable justifications, that's the only scenario where both death-matches and patchwork *aren't* inevitable, as coexistence becomes a matter of negotiation
-
tbs, it doesn't seem like the 'death match' between irreconcilable cultural assumptions is one that primarily plays out in the form of violence and deterrence rather than memetic infection, and I'm not sure how much patchwork can really do about that
-
Well successful patchworks would build in resistances or flexibilities to combat. Unsuccessful would be swallowed.
-
sure, but in this case we're talking about resistance on the level of ideas and norms and such, which is much harder to deliberately engineer than military deterrence, to the point where I'd severely doubt that's the right way of looking at it at all
-
Yeah, think the virtual vs spatial thing is something that needs further thinking-through.
