    Any kind of war is war against someone who challenges us yes, peace can cause laziness but there is at some point gonna be a big war. Even though people say we are in war all the time. we are always because we as humans fight.

    We fight to be better, stronger, wealthier. Its a food chain there is gonna be a point where we all are gonna get eaten or we all got to fight back. We have been in a constant fight but I'm asking when will we snap? Will it end up we all die or would you think it would end up an mono-country?

    * There's a saying that "the only constant is change." Maybe we don't quite know for sure why the dinosaurs died out but it's a pretty safe bet to assume that their environment changed. They weren't able to adapt to the change so they eventually died out.

    That same idea applies to a lot of things doesn't it ? Great religions have been born, prospered, and then died out all throughout human history. Great temples were built only to be leveled by an invading army. The new people came in and built a church, a synagogue, or mosque on the site. The old names of the religions and rituals of worship were forever lost in the sands of time.

    We see the same thing in business all the time. Something about the business environment changes. The business owner can't adapt and is forced to close his doors.

    * Another idea is that things start out simple but grow and become more complicated.The more complicated a thing becomes the more things there are to go wrong with it. Eventually it becomes so complicated that it can't function anymore. At that point the whole system collapses and a new simple order emerges from the rubble. It's like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.

    This has been the main problem when global empires have been built in the past. They just became too difficult to manage. If we do see a nano country it probably won't hold together for very long unless we have the help of a very good A.I. There's only so much the human mind can grasp. A Quantum based artificial intelligence might be able to process all of the information flooding in and make good management decisions.

    * As far as the Big Dawgs go ? All you have to do is look out in the field at dusk. You'll see the deer out there feeding. It's usually a buck and his harem of females. The thing is that it's not easy being the buck. When he was young he had to fight his way to the top and take out the older male that was the leader of the group. By the time he got to the top he was exhausted and now he's got all of these younger males looking to take his place. It's a constant battle to remain the alpha male and at the end of the day they all end up dead.



    It's like that in business,politics, and religion too. It's only for awhile. If you're the big boss your days are numbered and there's no escaping your fate. Hard to imagine .... but some day there will be no Unites States of America too. (Things will change and it will become something else.)

    * Will something snap and unleash Armageddon ? It doesn't seem likely. It would be uncommonly difficult to kill off 8 billion people. We've used nukes before and things didn't get out of hand. Even if a few got loose and some religious fanatic destroyed a few cities it would barely put a dent in the system.

    Just an opinion ..... but this seems to be the way of things. It's the impermanent nature of the world we all live in.
