"You would end war if your world were GC-educated[5]

War was always a fool’s pursuit except in rare cases where one had to defend one’s nation against invading armies. But war for conquest of resources now will produce consequences that are far more costly than any benefits that can be achieved for any group or nation. This is a practical matter now as well as a moral and ethical issue." --The New World, Chapter 10: Preventing Collapse and the Wars of Desperation

“Stability and security cannot be used by tyrants to oppress the peoples. There cannot be an excuse to destroy freedom and self-expression. But it is a fundamental reality that you must face as part of the natural world and as a citizen of human civilization. This recognition is fundamental. Many people cannot see this because they are so jaded in their political viewpoint. They are so distrustful of other people. They are so condemning of human leaders and institutions that they are blinded to the very natural circumstances that give them life, that promise them life for the future.” --The New World, Chapter 10: Preventing Collapse and the Wars of Desperation
