WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
That was the  question after the last  war. That is the question after this one . Where do we go from here. One world or none. It has been discussed and cussed about fans being Slans. Degler according to legend developed this theory to its highest poit. That fans were somehow superior to ORDINARY HUMAN BEINGS. It has been proven over and over again that this theory has no basis in fact.
It may well be that fans average higher Iqs than Ordinary Homo Sapiens but that would only mean that SF appeals to those with with higher IQs.  highbrow stuff in other words.
All this is a bulldup to something I have been wondering about. Just what influence could Campbell have thru Fandom and peoplethat just read his magazine on U.S forlegn pollicy. As you and i know, Campbell has been trying to impress his readers with the potential power of atomic energy. It is my onw opinion that it is little or none.
All evidences shows  that it is the conservatives  that favor keeping the Bomb, while liberals favor sharing the secret. Just which  is the wisest policy is dificult to decide. However Conservativ are seldon converted to Liberalism and Vice Versa. There have been outstanding esceptions , but these have been outstanding because they are an exception ... and then too, the rule is only general.
Fankind apparently is composed of the same political shades as the general population, with perhaps a few more percentage of the so called "Lunatic Fringe" that found ordinarily in the population. Arch Conservatives, Liberals and Radicals ... all live together on one unhappy family, quarreling with each other happily.
So one might come to the conclusion that sf readers are not likely to lead us to Utopia.
So we will set on our nether ends and watch the world go where it6 will, just like the rest of the population of the U.S. At any rate it will be interesting (and possibly dangerous) to watch where we go form here--Fankind and the rest of the world.  As for me,  i can "WHEN THE NEXT WAR COMES THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO GUYS (at least) MISSING. ME AND THE GUY CHASING ME ........" .. Rupert Evans.
