How does the threat of self defense naturally lead to winner takes all scenario? Why does "if you must have what I have" naturally flow from a respect for private property of other ( including bodies) ? Essentially , you are convincing me you are a pessimist. I think success requires optimism. Hasn't Jesus made your outlook more hopeful? You sure are a half empty kind of person
It's not self-defense; that assumes the point at issue. A man's life does not consist of the things he possesses, as it is said.
I'm watching society collapse into totalitarianism, preparatory for war - that doesn't leave much room for optimism. Besides, it is an observable fact that diversity + proximity = war.
Well, the actual equation is diversity + proximity + fear = war, and that's where we get hierarchy from.
I submit that the source of conflict is actually the issuance of threats to control others' behavior. That is, we are imposing our will upon others in order to control agents as though they were not agents by use of threats. But agents don't like being treated as non-agents, therefore they rebel.
