The fittest humans are those who cooperate with and who can be at peace with their neighbors.
The only thing that conquest brings is death, suffering, and broken men.
Prosperity increases in areas and populations that are peaceful and decreases in populations and areas that are not peaceful.
I understand the people who fail to see this, and I pity them.
A diet too rich in documentaries on WWII and the Roman Empire leads to intellectual malnutrition.
- nataliste 2y agoWhere, when, and what exactly are you speaking of when you speak of increasing prosperity?
- snakeyjake 2y agoIf you are asking for examples: everywhere on Earth, for all of human history. If you are questioning whether or not prosperity is increasing, especially in peaceful areas, I cannot help you. Not being able to tell that we are currently in the most prosperous and peaceful era of human history, and it isn't even close, is like not being able to tell if it is raining or not whilst standing in the middle of a downpour. I would first have to explain what water is, the water cycle, what the sensation of wetness is, other sensory perceptions of rainfall, and a basic understanding of what objective facts are and I don't have time for that.
- nataliste 2y agoThat's a lot of rhetoric to dodge a question. Peace doesn't fall out of a coconut tree.
