> War is deeply in human nature, it is not going away

This is:

* Not a consensus view

* Impossible to prove with regard to the future nature of humanity

* Not the working assumption for those of us innovating around peacetime tech




I am not aware of any theory that would suggest humans in forcible future will eradicate violent conflicts, regarding past there is great book;

War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage

And nothing could ever change? Just stupid conservatism and self-fulfilling prophecy due to enough people still thinking like that.. ;)


“If only we could destroy those in the way of changing the world for the better!”
