Blue_Lux said: That's a straw man of what I said. We must live and navigate things that ants cannot possibly be aware of. The comparison is specious. Superficial, specious literally as speciesist. I'm not sure it can get more specious than that.
I think the point being. That the concept is still the same. It doesn’t matter if you’re an ant, a bull, or your human beings with bombs. We have an inborn tendency towards violence against each other.
The question is, how do we further separate ourselves from that tendency. And stop waging war with each other once and for all.
Or is it a futile effort?

It’s futile for sure…
When this thought pops into my head I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I try to think of it as a philosophical problem. To be solved. Because I won’t accept that it’s inevitable.

Writing war as an 'inborn tendency' does more to confuse war than demonstrate anything about it.

It isn't futile. We're just not there yet. Look at the events of the past few hundred years. We're pulling ourselves out of the deep pit some people. Put us in really 1700 years ago with constant additions for a solid 1500 years. The Renaissance came, then the enlightenment... Then people went backwards again, and now we're on the up again. I hope it is only ~100 years from now that we will be out of the darkness but maybe not. War isn't inevitable. Every war has a purpose. It isn't some abstract thing that just happens to people one day out of the blue.

I think you’ll find war has been happening as long as humans have existed in some form or another.
We’re becoming more capable of doing things on massive scales, including war.
Once we warred between small tribes on the scale of a small state, now we war globally. Not much has changed other than our capacity.

& I think you'll find that humans are capable of much more. I find your insistence on the continuation of our lowest tendencies (that do not exist in a vacuum) utterly appalling.

Not sure what you mean by that.
I had to look up what ethos meant, and it says “the characteristic spirit of a culture”.
Not sure why that applies to statements about how humans have always been at war with one another.
Aren’t you engaging me in a form of warfare right now? Lol

I know humans are capable of loving and of making peace. Not denying that. I’m just saying that those traits are accompanied by a tendency to war
