It may be that war is best played out virtually if it means we can scratch that itch without so much collateral damage, but I’ve also heard it said war is the ultimate “proof of work”, which branch of humanity can afford to burn more resources? Anyway, your comment reminded me of a song I haven’t listened to in some time:
“is war as old as gravity?”
“are there animals that like peace, and animals that like war?”
“is making war an instinct we inherited from our hunting, or our farming ancestors?”
“is war as old as gravity?”
“are there animals that like peace, and animals that like war?”
“is making war an instinct we inherited from our hunting, or our farming ancestors?”
“war is the best game and the worst life”
- War & Peace, Ryuichi Sakamoto
