Day and night cannot dwell together, a quote by Chief Seattle.

Understanding War and Conflict Part 1.

So war has been in the news lately. conflict part one.

So war has been in the news lately, as you might have heard, and I thought this would be a great

opportunity for us to think about and contemplate the existential

roots of war.

I'm not going to be talking about specific wars here.

We're going to be taking a very meta perspective

as we like to do here with this work. So this will help

you to make sense of all wars, not just the current one that's going on and there's

always going to be some new war going on so we might as well

look at war more generally than getting lost in the forest I mean like

getting lost in the trees and not seeing the forest.

So that's what we're going to do here.

And actually, it's really profound to think about what war is and why it exists.

Like I remember when I was a kid, maybe seven years old I would see war on television in the movies

and stuff like that and it always baffled me why do people go to war I could

understand why would somebody

knowingly risk his life

and go into the trenches,

into impossible odds and fight for what? Like what is the point of it?

It seemed nonsensical.
