New Stickman in the pipeline & some theory stuff that may just create peace in the world for real

I have a few new adventures of Stickman completed. I just now need to get them scanned, and then hopefully they'll be up later on today.

Also, I woke up about 5am this morning in a bizarre fashion. I had gone to bed thinking about Axelrod's Cultural Adaptation Theory, but I woke up with a synthesis of that theory and several others that I've been working on for a few years now, to the point of where I actually believe I can mathematically explain how to create peace between two hostile nations (or people) through consistent dialog where neither side is required to give in to the other. It involves the Interpersonal Communication/marketing theory of "foot in the door", mixed with the game theoretic/mathematical "tit for tat", Axelrod's Cultural Adaptation Theory, and my own Strategic vs. tactical processing theory from one of my earlier papers. It was a truly bizarre feeling because I woke up and it suddenly all made sense. But much like my neutramatter theory some years ago when I was studying physics, I now find myself questioning how it can be so obvious when no one else has come up with it before me. My neutramatter theory makes complete sense of the universe, yet no one's ever gone that way, and they're still struggling over such simplistic concepts that this theory actually explains away. I'm left with that same feeling concerning this "discovery" I just had. With great names like Dahl, Easton, Putnam and Huntington working on these types of things, why is some unknown grad student in Stockton figuring out this crap instead?
