have nothing that anybody wants directly Yeah I definitely thought about that ... it is a bit crazy. Avoiding conflict is definitely a way of surviving The Amish are an interesting case study in avoiding conflict ... I buy produce at the farmer's market from the Amish, so I read about their culture, real estate, etc. I learned that they're pacifists, which makes sense e.g. they refused to fight in World War II on behalf of the US, which caused some problems But yeah it does not reflect well on the rest of us. I watched all of Fall of Civilizations, and yeah it wouldn't be that inaccurate to say that history is a continuous series of power struggles and succession problems! (and technology too, but arguably technology is primarily used to win wars ...)
