There is a lot to be learned from past wars, but these day? People are not interested. There's a war right now and all they care about is virtue signalling, not the actual war itself. As long as greed is an actual reality, I don't hold out much hope for an end to wars because war makes money for those involved. They don't care that they are sacrificing actual people.
The rulers of our current world are also not particularly interested in losing people - with 8 Billion now on the planet they feel people are an dispensable commodity. Take for example this whole green new deal bullshit that they are claiming will save the planet: How many people actually know that the majority of those minerals are mined by children in third world countries across the world? How many of them actually care?
I myself hold out little hope too because we're heading in a direction, but it's definitely not the right one and without a massive shift, humanity in the true sense of the world is doomed.
Maybe one day we'll all be plugged into the Matrix and be put to good use huh? I'd not be though...I'd be like Neo only I'd be called Old-O.
There's a lot of deluded people in the world, you know, those who talk about how automation and computers are going to be so awesome, but forget that half the planet doesn't have sustainable power. People like to insulate themselves from the realities because it is easier for them. They plod along in their little worlds mumbling words about how they are going to change the world but take no (real) action to do so.
I'll be dead and gone when it all shakes out thankfully, as will most people reading (or not reading) this.
Old-O, lol, well we'll be in the same boat I reckon.
That's just it - it's more convenient to not know or care about these things and social engineering has been so good at pulling the wool over people's eyes that they fail to see past anything that sounds good. Nobody asks questions anymore either so there's no real line of enquiry.
We'll both be gone but our nieces and nephews won't be and that's what makes me sad.
Sad indeed, but do you see a different reality?
Nope, the future looks grim...and grimey.
