We don’t choose war. The Epstein class does.
My theory is that the wheels it turns benefit the players involved.
I heard a conversation with Priya Assal ana Ribyn Lassiter and it made me hopeful

Incomplete research. Humans are the only species that kills for fun. Some malicious code seems to be part of our DNA. Some Eric Cartman that lives in all of us that comes out from time to time. Humans need an automated mechanism that helps to avoid concentration of power and centralized control. All of these things always end up in corruption. Let’s start with the money.

Yes but we choose or allow the Epstein class to exist.
Not really. We are helpless. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try and do something about it.
It is s business. Simon Dixon lays it out nicely and
@Efrat Fenigson mentions 'market creation' in a similar context.
The bigger question is, why do plebs still join the army and go kill other plebs for the benefit of those who traffic and rape their children?
I don’t buy it. No one kills for fun, only maybe psychopaths. There’s usually a deeper motive and it’s probably power, greed, occultism.
That is what they want you to believe but is demonstrably false.
Every single person here can choose to stop consuming MSM, stop using big tech social media, stop using iphones and stock androids which steal their data and brainwash them. The amount of tech which empowers the Epstein class that we voluntarily get and pay for is mind boggling.
The powerlessness is entirely in our own heads. Like a herd of horses kept in a field by a hot wire string they can run through with zero real harm any time.
Yes, you are absolutely correct in THEORY. But in practice, no human will do this en masse. So in practice, this is not feasible, nor useful.
Wars have been around long before inequality. Tribes fought and still fight each other today.
Because it is profitable and a great mechanism for disappearing large swathes of "undesirable" populations
WE don't choose. Most humans do not want war most of the time.
However, individuals who are addicted to power choose to order young men to war and those young men are often more afraid of their fate as a conscientious objector whereby they may be perceived by others as a traitor than they are of their fate as soldiers.
This describes the past century or so. However, there are times when people do choose to go to war. Usually this is after the last generation of people that saw the last fourth turning crisis are dead or close to it. They perceive the injuries or humiliation sustained from their enemies as to be too great to bare. To them, the only answer is total war and the hope that they will annihilate their enemy.
We are a decentralized species because we are all individuals who make our own choices. But we tend to centralize and then decentralize regularly over time. Centralization leads to higher survival rates or at least it has in the past. Otherwise you can't defend yourself easily.
There will always be disagreements between individuals and groups. And every so often the differences will be so great that even without a draft some percentage of people will want revenge in the form of war. It is a part of humanity that will never go away. And most likely this is the case for all other decentralized intelligent species. If you're not a hive mind and have individual autonomy, war will always be a part of your species.
You can try hard to change reality, but you cannot stop everything you dislike.

That is the other falsity they would like you to believe - that the individual doesn't matter and everyone has to change at the same time for it to work.
If Satoshi thought like that, he would not have created bitcoin. He would have said it is pointless to make it as it will only become money if everyone starts using it, and that will never happen.
What I do understand is that change takes effort and the rulers make sure we are tired. So don't beat yourself up if you can't disengage from the system overnight. Make the one step that you can make.
Every single person, and every single step matter.
Central banking does. End the fed.
Yes it’s a business with a need to create demand and “market making”.
And agree - the more burning question is why do we self destruct our species.
Glad you’re ok
If prices serve as knowledge surrogates, what happens when prices are distorted by government intervention, monopolies, or externalities? Can the price mechanism still solve the knowledge problem under those conditions?
Does tacit knowledge remain fundamentally non-digitable?
Because armed gangs we call "government" make their living 100% by plunder called "taxes".
Wars are a " crisis" they create as an excuse to increase taxes, their power, and to pay cronies who make weapons.
Notice that you are being bombed by "democratically elected, freedom professing, lawful and legitimate" armed gangs and not "hard-line extremists"!🤕🙁
Speak for yourself. Who is this we?
You don't even choose Monero and other good OpSec measures in an oppressive regime. How to you create enough self a sovereignty then to be capable of being an actor for peace?
Is this the new Bitcoin maxi mantra, waiting for the fiat buy out by Epschilds?
Wake me up when people realise that they can opt out this scheme with Monero.
War is a product of irrational thinking.
Rational human beings, who are trying to better their lives and the lives of their loved ones, will find a way to avoid wars. That is why democratic nations rarely go to war.
When you have irrational actor, people who base their world view on mysticism, you have war.
Be it the mystics of the soul, religion, or mystic of the muscle, socialists. Once a society falls to the irrational, wars are inevitable.
The frightening sentence I heard someday was: "War lies in the nature of Man." And history seems to prove this.
Religion is inevitable. Even atheists fall into the trap of pseudo religions or making their non-belief the centre of their believes.
Some Zen masters might come close to living free of religion.
If it wasn’t for war we would already suffer under one world government. War keeps us decentralized.
Hahaha wtf... I swear, you're not suffering war
Cus we keep choosing fiat 🤷🏽♂️
It is in Man’s fallen nature.
Everyone needs a philosophy. I think that is what you meen.
Religion is a type of philosophy that has a creator in it's metaphysics. It's epistemology is based on belief.
Marxism is also a philosophy. It places the group as a primary existence over the individual. It's epistemology is based on the vanguard (Kral Marx) some how knowing how history is shaping itself.
Both are mystical since knowledge in both is not based on rationality.
Even atheists need a philosophy. And this is where many atheists fall. They adopt a philosophy that isn't 100% rational. This leeds to contradictions. This is part of the reason why many atheists "find" religion or become fascists/racists
Correct. I’m reasoning purely, and I admit comfortably, from a primordial behavior level. If not for war we would not be able to escape and fight tyranny.
We were put on this demon prison planet to keep the demons in check. They keep building rockets to try and escape.
What group of people are choosing war? If you had to sum it down to one single racial group that funds all the wars and uses the media to push the necessity to fight x or y bad guy? What group has been proven to be funding both sides od every conflict for the last hundred or more years? If you had to point your finger at one ethnic group? Who would it be?
Who? What people? Which people want the control? What ethnic group do these people belong to?

Okie doke buckaroo.
Let me know when you're ready to be realistic about the problem.
Took you a minute i'm impressed, yes, that was what i tried to do, have a nice weekend 👌
Emperical evidence can nevwr prove anything about the nature of man. You are so naive. Why do so many people believe that men act according to their nature even a small fraction of the time? Achieving one's highest purpose is ridiculously hard; don't be stupid.
man not equal Man!
O.K.

Because apparently political, personal interests, money and power count more than human decency.
A lack of perspective and understanding of the forces working against you and why
We? You mean to say “they keep choosing war”
Why would farmers slaughter their cattle?
Collective trauma.
because humans are dumb
Fear.
We are shortterm thinkers, in the end its all "me & my family" vs "them". Instead of estimating the value of our fellows, we estimate the risk. Instead of using the infinite potential of infinite software & art availability for all humanity, we create artificial limitation.
You cannot copy hardware, but software you can. In a way software works like heaven, you create it once and "could" make it available for everyone. But we do not want heaven. We mistrust each other. "What if my friend uses the software against me?"
We don't. War is a fundamental part of their system.
You're wrong. Satoshi designed bitcoin because he also knows that no mass of normies will ever change. That's the whole point. Bitcoin uses incentives that drive war, to actually stop it from happening - at least when it comes to killing each other. Read "Softwar" if you get a chance.
'everyone' was the wrong word, yes.
Still, bitcoin would be nowhere without a following, without ppl who use it. Satoshi could not have known whether that following will come with any certainty.
My point is change never happens because everyone changes at the same time. In all cases, one or a few change and the rest follow, in time.
lack of spirituality.
FIAT powered corrupted politicians
We do NOT choose it. It is forced upon us.
We are all occupied by evil pedophile overlords that keep us fighting against each other instead of them.
