Loved it. I have little to add but I will anyway. He mentions that every war since Napoleon is different, fought with different technology. It would be nice if war could be traced back to just shifting of technological power. Maybe the development of tanks makes one war inevitable, and the development of ICBMs makes another war inevitable. And one day if we're very lucky, technology will be Good Enough and it will plateau and things can coalesce into a global government with no border and few standing military. It might be over 100 years, I might not live to see it. It would be nice if war was not an endemic part of the human condition, but just the shocks and aftershocks of tectonic shifts, and one day the ringing will die out as everything is abundant enough. But considering the wars before Napoleon, maybe it is endemic.
