This article analyzes how U.S. policymakers and analysts, the Russian leadership, and the Chinese Communist Party perceive the current security situation. It also explores the often-underestimated role of strategic narratives. By summarizing the key points of the strategic narratives of the United States, Russia, and China, the article discusses the implications of the competitive mindset on humanity’s ability to address essential global security challenges</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">173</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diego F.

We consider the case where each piece of information has a fitness as proxy of its quality. The higher is the quality, the higher are the chances of being transmitted. We measure the relationship between the quality of an idea and its likelihood of becoming prevalent at the system level. We find that both information overload and limited attention contribute to a degradation of the system discriminative power. When trust is incorporated into the model and the agents can decide whether or not to accept a meme, we show that both lifetime and popularity distributions have broad power-law tails indicating that only a few memes spread virally through the population reproducing perfectly the broad distributions obtained from empirical data.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">362</style></section></record></records></xml>
