but fwiw we are not midevil mercenaries that probably fought along with us or at least our allies not long ago, but if our military could cut balls off and get away with it, it would.

As long as there are people, there will be war.

There will always be someone that wants to take what someone else has by force.

I disagree I think as long as there are stupid people they will continue to fight each other to death.

Eventually people will be smart like me and they would never do something like that.

Truth is, when you know that war is a game that fools die in for stupid people that lie to them… then people will stop going to die in wars like idiots for liars.

I honestly have no respect for any veteran. Either they’re a fool or a psychopath. Either way I could give a shit about them.

There are people that donate their free time to feed people that I care about.

Generally yes my gut tells me there is a correlation between intelligence and compassion for societies at large. As we get smarter, we are less barbaric to each other. I know there’s a million examples of how tech can make the ones that aren’t capable of much more carnage, that should go without saying IMO. But by compassion I still don’t believe in the idea of never-ending unconditional compassion. That’s not an intelligent position to take IMO

It’s not so much of a compassion issue it’s that only dumb people who don’t know the truth are the ones that will go and fight.

If you have a brain you know that you will be in pain and you will die and you will get nothing from the VA and no one will care about you and corrupt people will just do fucked up shit anyways.

As soon as everybody realizes that then they’ll stop going to fight for people that don’t give a crap about them.

Right now the only reason people fight is because they’re stupid and soon people won’t be stupid because we’ll put computers in our brains and evolve to more pressing issues.

Like I know that you’re like ‘oh but there will always be some army’ but what I’m trying to tell you is that no there won’t be, one day everybody will be so smart that there will never be an army because anyone who tries to make one will just be laughed at.

[Jibartik]

That and you can 3D print an army one day.

I could be wrong if aliens show up and they turn out to have guns and be like oh yeah there’s all kinds of wars out there and we been doing them for billions of years I stand corrected.

But the way I see it is if in World War I they could stop the war to sing Christmas songs together then they can stop the war forever. You just Gotta have more people realize it then don’t.

Yea a lot of systems require a unified trust in the system or they fall apart

But if we separate war from it and go broader, there are things in life that even really smart people would put above their own lives. Now this is of course on paper, when the time comes do they follow through with risking their life on their convictions? Yea some of them will

Like imagine going to war and having your legs blown off because you believe in the Constitution only to come back here and everyone be like, we’re gonna burn up the constitution because we wanna have drag storytelling in schools. It’s like, dude you didn’t fucking sign up for that shit 20 years ago.
