... would bring us less extensive conflicts. It would decrease the number of people in a given population who could become effective soldiers I first assumed this would be about criminality and/or war, but the first part of the article surprised me pleasantly. However, it did go into this in the end. Remember that replacing something involves removing the existing thing, and then adding the new thing. This would involve DEweaponizing criminal and/or war-able factions, and then arming them with the likes of bows and arrows. I would argue that we are unable to reach even the first step. In fact, if we could do that, there wouldn't be any need of arming people with bows and arrows. Problem solved!
