Cool article and site. Thanks. Obvious tag is appropriate as there is little else to say.

A variant is the "J Curve of Revolution", first theorized in 1962 as political theory.

"Revolutions are most likely to occur when a prolonged period of objective economic and social development is followed by a short period of sharp reversal. People then subjectively fear that ground gained with great effort will be quite lost; their mood becomes revolutionary. ...."

But other research has found that people react negatively against new restrictions, wanting the restricted thing more than ever.

This should be no surprise to any parent who has ever tried getting rid of a child's unused toys.

Throw your troops into situations where there is no escape, where they will die before escaping.

When they are about to die, what can they not do?

They will exert their full strength. ?

When the troops are in desperate situations, they fear nothing;

If you surround the enemy, leave an outlet;
