I disagree, and so does history.
so mankind, in your opinion, needs a gun at its head to be creative and useful?
Please correct me if I got that wrong.
Yeah I will correct your silly mistake

I do not think mankind needs a gun pointed at its head to be creative or useful, but I do think that war will force countries and its peoples into working harder towards coming up with solutions to problems. Why? Because that is generally the outcome when pressure is put on people. They work harder. Same reason why your boss moans at you to hurry the fuck up. Pressure makes you work harder.
This doesn't mean I don't think we couldn't achieve the same results without war, I just think we are more likely to WITH war and that without it we may take more time to achieve such results.
