and lateralized, rises, and like all viruses, basically wants to expand to its maximum extent, and it runs over everything in the way.
Every living system, democratic, autocratic, a virus, a bacteria, it will spread as far as it can until something stops it.
So this isn't, you know, you're good or bad.
It's systems want to replicate to the maximum expansion point.
And so they use wars to make sure they can spread as far as possible.
And we use wars societally because it forces lateralization and the winner will be the most lateralized and they will have adopted ideas.
And then you coast afterwards in a period of peace in a highly anti-entropic and productive state that essentially advances mankind.
So the brutal reality until we find another way to advance,
We recognize, first of all, how we're advancing by war and lateralization.
And then we emulate it and engineer it without conflict.
But we need an alternative route to evolve from the one that we unconsciously have at the moment, especially as war is potentially so destructive that it potentially could wipe out the human race.
I'm afraid we haven't learned from history because we haven't recognized how these patterns repeat.
And we think each one is unique.

I mean, I did a whole study of characters like myself, observers of society through the ages and how they observe their own societies.
And they are limited by their construct.
So, you know, in the early ancient world, they believed the affairs of gods dominated the affairs of man, so that when a civilization collapsed, it had lost favor with the gods.
And they framed it that way, but they still had a construct of moral authority and moral disenchantment and moral failure that was the thing which actually the gods didn't favor.
