1. summary + another theory
First, since war is an act of humans, many scholars try to extract the cause of war from human biological and psychological characteristics. Animal behaviorists explain the causes of war in terms of human aggressive instincts.
The second theory of the cause of war is not based on human instincts, but rather on the societies, cultures, and nations in which humans live. For example, a dictatorial state is more likely to engage in warfare than a democratic state, and Islamic civilization is more aggressive than Christian or Confucian civilization, and that a stronger country is much more likely to fall into conflict than a weaker country.
Marxists have hoped that capitalism is the culprit of war and that socialist countries can live in peace. However, in the history of war, the conflicts between the socialist countries were more and more, and the fact that they invested overwhelmingly more money in the military power than other countries made them disappear. Finally, it is argued that the main cause of the war is not the individual, the nation, the society but the international political system itself. The international society in which nations exist is that there is no law, unlike domestic politics, and there is no order.
As a result, conflict between countries is much more likely to be transformed into war than conversation.
2. Interesting Point, 3. Discussion Point
"World War III will be a job war," said Jim Clifton.
Human vs. complex intelligence
Jeremy Rifkin said in his 1995 book, The End of Labor, 20 years ago. "High technology, information society, and technological innovation will make jobs disappear, rather than enrich human lives.“
I think, His words are still valid now. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that for the next 20 to 30 years, complex intelligence-based automation would eliminate people's jobs, which would be the biggest problem of mankind.
This expectation is based on the judgment that the technology development competition, which is based on the complex intelligence, is mainly carried out as a technology to replace human beings rather than human assistive technology in labor. This is understandable through the nature of capital, ‘greed’ which has been constantly confirmed since the birth of capitalism. It is more economical to replace human labor than to assist.
In this way, most people will come to the wasteland of survival by being pushed into complex intelligence. Perhaps people will desperately want to survive. It will now be transformed into human vs human, not a human vs. complex intellect.
