I think it's brought great scientific progress. Was pushes forward the boundaries of knowledge but at a price. Hopefully at one point in time in the future we will advance in leaps and bounds without the aid of war

Its a political tool.

>> No.1894401

A necessary evil to get funding. If millions of people have to die in order for science to progress, I guess it's fine.

>> No.1894404

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing!

Except liberating people from the yoke of tyranny, once in a while.

>> No.1894415

i don't know what i should think about war today. a hundred years ago i could say it was a kind of necessary evil, but now i don't really know how necessary it is seeing that we are capable of killing EVERYONE while burning only two calories.

Emotional responses.

>> No.1894444

>>1894434

Implying emotion in general is "wrong".

Implying the very nature of objective processes like science are built on emotional principles, like satisfying curiosity and doubt.

Emotion is the foundation for all things humans have done, good and bad. To deem them unnecessary is short-sighted.

Your natural aversion to violence keeps you from understanding what war is and why it is practiced. You've blinded yourself with emotion.
