- enraged_camel 12y ago>>You'll have to define "advancing society." Actually, if you follow the discussion, it has already been defined in the comment I responded to: >>The people who might think today is "big enough" might also have thought that say 1990 was big enough, and yet very few people would want to be limited to 1990's tech / culture. What is being implied here is that we want economic growth because we don't want to be limited in tech / culture. I simply pointed out that this is a false association.

PS: Many of those conflicts have far more civilian deaths than that link suggests.
