> [...] how do we get people to help themselves get out of the path to war?
Philosophically I find this revolting. Who are you, or me, or we to say what some other society should do? That should never be the goal and I don’t think anything good comes from starting with “other people are wrong, we should fix them.”
I realize I’m putting hyperbolic words in your mouth here but the point is nobody should be trusted with that kind of power.
> Surely, we have the tools and desire, don't we? I hope.
No, I don’t think we do. And if we did they would be more devastating than nuclear weapons. The closest thing is social media.
