Is it normal that i think war is natural
I hear the argument that war isnt natural nor is it good in a way. I believe differently. First off I believe war is completely natural for any species that has a large collective inteligence and is also social. It honestly makes the most sense when it comes to accomplishing basic goals as a species.
Feel free to read my explanation or just skip it and comment.
My logic here is that every single organism has 3 goals. 1 to survive. 2 to reproduce. 3 to make sure the next generation survives. Within that context war is completely rational.
Surviving is important, so much so that doing whatever you have to, to do so is acceptable. If a population has maximized its land usage it has one of two options expand said land or lose population due to starvation. Combine this with other tribes with the same mindset as you and you have war on your hands. As tribes become civilizations with hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed. Expansion or getting more food is top priority because limiting population is not normally doable because the general population isn't controlled for the good of the entire populations resources. Thus resource wars.
To that end every war is a resorce war either over physical space or the ability to increase food production (land, slaves, technology, long term investments for the future, etc) of course you can always label a cause of the war for other factors but the root of the war is of the above factors.
As for the contribution to war it has significantly advanced technology because nothing rushes inspiration like having your way of life threatened. Though I'm not a warmonger since basic needs of the above are fulfilled in much of the world thus war isnt needed as much as it was.
Modern war is highly inefficient now a days because there is no more land to conquer. The majority of the world is interconnected by way of economic ties (very efficient way of gathering resources though its was less effective when there was land to be taken over and traveling technology was in its infancy)
You mad lad! You got through the explanation/rant. Pat yourself on the back for reading through that wall of text.
