[qnckwtyz] Terrorism and free speech

Hypothesize that most terrorism is a symptom of a failure of political discourse: the terrorist feels mechanisms by which the best idea would win have become subverted.

This is more optimistic than the traditional military view which assumes no positive sum solutions exist.

Inspired by the school shooting threat of GamerGate.  There obviously exist many failures of discourse with both sides not even wanting to understand each other, and a positive sum solution fairly obviously exists: let market forces decide what games get produced, i.e., buy what you want to play.
