What are your ideas, that if you could implement would likely stop our species from warring so much?

I’m asking for a reasonable ones, but if not - at least make them funny :P

    Eradicate fear.

    Fear of losing power. Fear of “them”. Fear of going to hell because you didn’t convert someone. Fear of lost resources.

    It all boils down to fear. The problem is that fear is contagious. It’s easier to convince someone to back your side if you make them afraid vs hopeful.

        You face it, permit it to pass over you and through you. And when it has gone past you turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only you will remain.

        /S, I’m just hype about the new dune trailer.

        I wish I had an answer to that. For me, it’s knowledge and recognition. Having an open mind to hear both sides of an argument and trying to focus on facts, not “what ifs”. Then paying attention to not just what’s being said, but how it’s being said. It’s pretty easy to see when someone is trying to get you emotional rather than logical,but you have to be looking for it.

        When I hear a politician say “they’re trying to take away…” or “they want you to…”. That’s them trying to make you fear the other side. I don’t give a shit if you’re left, right, capitalist, communist, or a dictator, if you’re goal is to make me fear what the other side will do with power then you’ve already lost me. Because I know, that really you’re afraid to lose power and so you make other people afraid too. Unfortunately, it works for way too many people.
