Sebastian Junger

I'm just reading into your mind.

Obviously, I don't know how you think, but I'm guessing that somewhere in your mind, you're like, I can take care of business if my family's threatened.

And there's a security in that.

And if you just knew for a fact that there were no predatory people out there, not one.

You wouldn't need to be, right?

But that's not – we're social primates and that's not the world that we evolved in and it's never going to happen.

Right.

And it's not going to change overnight.

No.

Right.

I mean, we have the DNA we have.

We have the cultural wiring that we have.

You know, it's it's so, you know, all the democracies which are, you know, tend towards sort of fairness and and peacefulness because it's frankly good for business.

Right.

War is not particularly good for the stock market.

Right.

For some businesses, absolutely.

But for the array of economic enterprise in the world, like war doesn't do the economies much good overall.

And so the question is, like, how do you – so democracies are –

invested in stability, in market stability.
