A Scientist's View of War

[AION]

Conflict is not necessary bad. Most of the tech we use today is thanks to the military. And we wouldn´t have the economic prosperity without war. It is an interesting take. I would also add that war is executing Darwin´s law at mass. Because usually the dumb people die first in a war and lesser civilizations make room for better ones. If one hand of God is benevolent, another hand is a destroyer so it make room for the new.

I feely uncomfortable just letting this reply stand like this. I don't think you are evil or a bad person. This reply is 20% emotional and has 80% substance. I will get into how I came to that conclusion when I'm motivated.

War is the engine that drives the evolution of life. Without it, there would only be prokaryotes cells floating in the ocean. But this is impossible, due to the very structure of life, which differs from non-living things in that it self-preserves and repairs itself. This always implies war, since it implies will. When two wills clash, there is war.

One cell eats another. Several unite, forming a multicellular organism that massacres simpler cells, taking advantage of its superiority and stealing their energy. Until another, more complex structure appears and goes from being hunter to prey.

Incessant war at all levels, trillions of acts of violence and murder every microsecond, until something absurdly complex as a human brain appears. Then those human brains joint together forming tribes, then cities, civilizations, empires, always pushed by war. There in only one law: you live, or you die. 

The question is: can humanity transcend war? In theory, yes, when it transcends death, masters reality, and becomes a kind of intergalactic cyborg, or better yet, when it merges with the primary structures of this dimension of reality, becoming interdimensional intelligent flow. One thing seems clear: there are no absolute limits, or it seems so, so who knows what is possible
