Like imagine making all the sacrifices the people made so we didn’t have a nuclear war during the Cold War only to have their fucking kids do a nuclear war because they’re just like, “Yolo! War is our destiny lol!”

If war something will always be having and there’s literally no reason to have it now.

Anything that you’re fighting for will just be dashed to pieces during the next war anyways.

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.
This is sort of the attitude I have about it. As long as there is aggression, for whatever the reason, there may be a scenario where the only solution is also aggression. Even if it is our last possible choice, which as we get smarter I think it increasingly should be

Think about it like this there’s two engineers and they’re trying to build a bridge. Because there’s two of them it’s much easier to exchange ideas and come up with the best plan of action.

But with government we have like 320 million people, and most of them are really dumb.

So it’s like next to impossible to get them to all agree on anything.. more than half of them are suggesting ideas that don’t even have to do with engineering.

People are getting mad because they don’t know the difference between engineering and the crazy shit that they’re talking about.. and so some other guy is like, well let’s get in a fight! and then some of the dumbest people are like yeah let’s do that!

And now you’re warring.

But if there’s a scenario where everyone can have a raised IQ and be aware of all of the things that everyone else is aware of then you could have 320 million people that are as easy to communicate with each other as the two engineers.

The worlds government, economy, energy, food exchange, there is one way to manage it so that it’s fair and equitable for every single person… but until we’re smart enough that we can all agree on that one way we’re gonna fight about it.

We’ll try different ways and succeed for a while, and then fail, and well try other ones, but one day, we’ll find the one way.

I truly believe that one day we will be smart enough to agree, every single one of us.

Ya resource scarcity can bring out the worst in people, but making them abundant by itself is far from a cure-all

True.

But lets say you do have a shortage of resources:

I think there is a most optimal way to delvier those resources.

And there are many, inferior ways.

If everyone was super smart, it'd be easier and easier for them to understand why the most optimal way is the best way.

The problem I think we have isnt resources, it's that we have inferior ways of delivering them that give some advantages and others disadvantages.

That results in anger, distrust.. that results in war, which results in more resources for the same people that kept them from the people that died in a war.

Soon all the people will realize, that all wars are just ways for the haves to take more from the have nots who die in the war, then wars will stop.

This is why the rich hate education, and want you to trust THEIR science.

Because they think the most optimal way is for you to be their slave. And we all agree, because we're dumb.

At least we’re not Catholic anymore. You used to deliver your children to pedophiles before Martin Luther crushed the demonic Church of Rom(an Paganism)

That is an upgrade, now they have to use the internet to convince our children to come in on their own.
