As I aaid -- resolution of a conflit of interest thru the use of force. That's all war is. So long as their are colflicts of interest, there will be war. War and 'best interest' are mutually exclusive -- the former is a means to achieve the latter.Humans acting in their own best interest vs. using war to accomplish such an end are mutually exclusive values. Just because humans act selfishly does not mean they will always use the same means to achieve that end.
Hm. Show that to be true.And wars are on the decline, despite what popular media would have you believe. There is not nearly as much war in the world today as there was even 200 years ago.
There are wars everywhere in the world, at present. There has not been a major war since 1945 due to nuclear deterrence, but there have been innumerable minor ones.
On the contrary -- I believe tis beause it is true. Humans acting on their own best interest has not changed since there have been humans -- say nothing of the last 1000 years.Well, the country you live in is a warring nation, so of course you have been brought up to believe this.
Good!This is an interesting idea, something I agree with.
