But the fact is that if someone hit ME, I probably would fight back. It's that fighting instinct that we'll never root out.

@Mech: Lies. You probably hit a fly just for zooming past you.

Never even thought about, actually.

I've never committed any acts of violence. Never even hit anyone.

@Muzz: What is terror management theory?

28 Jun 19:13

Amit Dutta

If you do hope that, you have to work on yourself first

At least manage it better. But still, I would not be surprised to be transported ten thousand years hence and find a war was going on.

I hope we can grow beyond it someday.

We are people. We're a nasty Earth virus. Peace isn't in our code.

Yeah, I am a human, and I don't think I'd ever not lift a finger if I was attacked... sad thing is, a lot of violence happens because people aren't willing to be taken advantage of.

What's beyond warfare?

Mechanizoid

Even if we avoid nuking each other, it will just be because we agree to force our will on each other using less terminal methods.

You are a human....it's not an abstract thing

28 Jun 19:09

Mechanizoid

I just don't think humans will ever get beyond warfare.

28 Jun 19:09

Amit Dutta

May as well just nuke everyone now with that attitude lol

With sticks and stones.

Mechanizoid

Thing is, though, even if we didn't have guns we would kill each other other ways.

Ok buddy

The problem is that we won't stop using them on each other.
