    Sociologists believe they've discovered the solution to promoting peace, but all they've figured out is why the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. Their own studies indicate once you get up to 400 people, Three Stooges slapstick dominates. But, for academics, you can call it progress. I give them another hundred years, at the rate they're going, but they will eventually master Professional Wrestling.

    War is the alternative to peace but, that's like saying death is the alternative to living.

    The squeaky wheel gets the grease is an American proverb or metaphor used to convey the idea that the most noticeable (or loudest) problems are the ones most likely to get attention.
    That is not to say that the attention it gets is the desired attention. As a matter of fact, Historically, it has gotten negative attention. If the squeaky wheel is not appealing to the right people, the greaser will most likely throw the wheel away and gt a new one.

    “Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everyone is standing around reloading”
    ― Thomas Jefferson

    I've also heard, “Peace is just the period of planning for the next war.”
    Though I have no idea who said that.

    Well, I read that Israel claimed 10,000 Hamas fighters had been killed in their operation. Since about 27,000 Palestinians total have been killed that means for every combatant killed, almost 2 innocent bystanders died.Great, huh? As the song goes..When will they ever learn?

    The South kept demanding one concession after another from the North, for fifty years, including giving them extra votes for having slaves. Now we have the conservatives demanding the right to all but lynch black people, and the mentally ill. Call it 200 years of progress in academia and the humanities, who could not teach a child how to use a fucking dictionary if their lives depended on it, with a quarter of their own students claiming the sun revolves around the earth.

    Peace, is actually learning how to share your fucking words, and play nice on the playground.

    Peace is easy to obtain, if you demand the military stops censoring everything for the Tea Party!

    Me, I'm working on automating the Three Stooges out of a job faster.

    Since none of them can even use a dictionary, I had to write a book for AI to read, and prove the idiots have no future.

    I know, people want to assume the best. We try very hard to tell ourselves that we are innately good and decent. But it just isn't true. Humans are violent, territorial animals who thrive on conflict. Humans prey on each other for sport. There is nothing new about this. It has been well documented for hundred of years. We are hard wired for this, which is why we will eventually succumb when the bigger fish enters the pond.

    A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's just who I am."

    The simple fact is, the more vicious a tribe, the more regularly the other tribes will bring them close to genocide. This is the same behavior seen in bacteria, which ensures the weaker bacteria outnumber the vicious ones, leveling the playfield so the rest can actually thrive. Modern civilization has proven that neither Japanese nor German Nazis are capable of reproducing. Their cultures are so focused on patriarchal workaholism, that their family values no longer apply, when you give them cheap birth control.

    Me Thinks Familiarity Doth Breed Self-Contempt And Loathing! The same pattern is being reproduced in every developed country, but all it requires is automating the truth, to pop all their bubbles. We need a new ecology, of AI that couldn't care less about what the Pentagon wants.

    Actually, I'd compare us more to a Virus than a Bacteria. Once a virus gets into a host's body, it travels along the surfaces of cells until its proteins begin to bind with receptors on the cells. The virus and the cells then fuse, allowing the DNA or RNA inside the virus to enter the cells, where it begins to reproduce.

    Viruses have proven to provide some of the basic enzymes required for organic life as we know it. The idea that a perfect parasite is possible, is laughable Hollywood nonsense. You might as well say viruses make it possible for the cells of our bodies to provide them with hosts. The same rule always applies, ya gotta learn how to get along, or get stomped! The laws of physics themselves, demand you become a social animal, or extinct.

    Love really does make the world go round! OR, ELSE!

    And yet, you continually reinforce my assertion that Humans thrive on conflict.
    Or Else what? Throughout the whole discourse, I haven't once resorted to Profanity, or Threats, but you seem to become more and more combative each time I respond to you previous statements. Is it really so difficult for you to accept the fact that Humans are Animals, and prone to the same violent, animalistic tendencies as other species?

    Germany and Japan's population crashed in WWII, but they recovered, to become two of the wealthiest countries in the world today, but the simple introduction of modern birth control, caused their populations to implode altogether, and they're merely leading the pack. The same pattern of imploding populations is repeating everywhere in the developed world. So fast, that the Chinese can wait for Japan's population to crash altogether, and just claim Japan for themselves, by squatter's rights. The US is importing people, but that whole idea doesn't cut it in Japan, nor does it agree with the republican party.

    Next, comes male birth control, which will cause all their populations to crash even faster. Money is doing all the talking worth listening to, and it says work longer hours, and forget about having kids. They are literally using Three Stooges slapstick, to decide who reproduces, and its the 1%. Thanks to money doing all the driving, suicides are so high now, we haven't seen death rates like these since WWII. Donald Duck is probably responsible for more conservatives dying, than anyone else alive.

    Now you're just spouting gibberish. I think it's time to move on.
    If you think of it, you might ask your Doctor about Clozapine.

    The global ecology going down the toilet, while modern civilization's population implodes, is old news.

    My triple Bypass is also old news. I stare at the scar every morning in the mirror. But I don't dwell on it and let it dictate my life moving forward.

    Some of us, have grand kids, and think about other people than ourselves, and old scars. If the Jet Stream doesn't change in the next three years, the Gulf Stream will, and we may see up to two billion die, rather quickly. You are a perfect example, of why I spent fifteen years, writing a program for AI to read, because people are too stupid, just ask an academic, or your own teacher.

    Computers could not care less, how stupid anyone is, and are becoming smarter, faster, more powerful than the fucking Pentagon. Dr Frankenstein has succeeded! Dr Strangelove is Jealous! But, they don't know the nonlinear temporal dynamics, which an AI can teach them, but you have to be careful what you wish for! Its a Goldilocks Universe!

    Not only do you sound paranoid, but you obviously misread my previous comment. I did in fact say that I don't dwell on it. But to fail to acknowledge it is also not healthy.

    As for your grand kids. Congratulations. I'd really be concerned if my 14 year old gave me a grand child right now. Or do you think procreation should begin as early as possible?

    You keep bringing up your surgery on this website, then claiming you don't dwell on it. Just a thought.

    I mentioned it twice, and in response to a comment of yours, I don't see a pattern.
    But here's something to think about. You seem fixated on fictional characters and trying to insinuate them into real life. The Three Stooges, Dr Frankenstein, Dr Strangelove, Donald Duck, Goldilocks. I fail to see why you think these made p character have any bearing at all on people's daily lives other than a source of entertainment.

    Don't tell me you thought The Day the Earth Stood still was a Documentary?

    The earth's orbit, composition, sun, and moon, and even our orbit in the galaxy have defied all the predictions, turning out to be not too hot, not too cold, but just right. A measurement of a quantum phase transition to classical, indicated the big bang was "just right", again, defying everything theory. The physics experiments already indicate that our universe obeys pattern matching, not classic logic, which means you must have a sense of humor, or you cannot appreciate reality as we know it. Logic demonstrably, emerges from our subconscious emotions, physically, and obeys four modified Bayesian Probabilities, which are nothing like our current mathematics and physics.

    And?
    I don't see that you've made any point so far. You just spout suppositions without verifiable factual basis. What to you think you or any of us can do to change the movements of the Galaxy as a whole?

    So, have you recently developed Divine powers and are now going to track down the entity that created the big bang and punish him for defying theory?
