Mythological Texts: Fiction, Not Evidence-Based Science One of the reasons ancient civilizations didn’t have modern levels of scientific knowledge is the lack of clear observational progressions. In modern science, every scientific understanding stems from well-documented observations, experiments, tools, and discoveries. In contrast, ancient mythological texts often contain vague wording, making it easy to misinterpret and misrepresent them when trying to translate them into modern language. It’s logical to think that early humans were largely ignorant about reality. Through discovery and curiosity, humanity gradually reached its current level of scientific understanding, establishing scientific principles along the way. However, when preachers claim that their mythological texts contained advanced knowledge thousands of years ago, they imply some supernatural source provided this information. If they truly want to prove their claims, they must logically explain the processes, methods, and tools used to make these discoveries at a time when modern tools and other scientific knowledge were unavailable. Many scientific discoveries build upon previous findings, so how could ancient civilizations have discovered things in such a vague and disorganized manner?

For example, modern medicine did not exist from the beginning. It started with limited knowledge and gradually progressed as evidence-based methods uncovered cells, germs, DNA, and genes. This progression is thoroughly documented, unlike traditional medicine or mythological claims. If ancient texts claimed breakthroughs that allowed them to discover advanced knowledge when the rest of the world believed in various superstitions, they must clearly explain what those breakthroughs were. Without proper scientific evidence and scrutiny, these claims remain baseless hypotheses. Examples of the Dangers of This Mentality Environmental Harm: Belief in traditional medicine can lead to practices such as poaching animals for supposed medicinal benefits, driving species to the brink of extinction. For example, the use of rhino horns and tiger bones in traditional medicine has significantly contributed to the endangerment of these species. Public Health Risks: People who rely on alternative medicine often delay or forgo effective, evidence-based medical treatments, leading to worsened health outcomes and sometimes preventable deaths.

The anti-vaccine movement, influenced by distrust in modern medicine, has led to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough. Erosion of Critical Thinking: Embracing superstitions and irrational methods of drawing conclusions can undermine critical thinking skills and scientific literacy. This erosion can spread misinformation and foster a society less equipped to make informed decisions based on evidence. Impact on Policy and Law: When unscientific beliefs influence lawmakers, policies can be created that are not based on scientific evidence, leading to ineffective or harmful regulations. For instance, laws restricting the teaching of evolution or promoting creationism in schools can undermine science education. Economic and Social Consequences: Fearmongering about scientifically beneficial technologies like AI or nuclear energy can stifle innovation and economic progress. Misguided opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can hinder agricultural advancements needed to address food security. Scientific Community: The spread of pseudoscience can divert funding and attention away from legitimate scientific research. It can also create a hostile environment for scientists, leading to decreased public trust in scientific institutions.

Regulation: Sticking a Band-Aid on a Bullet Wound Government regulations often act as band-aids for societal issues, addressing the symptoms rather than tackling the root causes. While these regulations may provide short-term relief or appear to create immediate changes, they often fail to address the underlying beliefs and systemic issues that give rise to these problems in the first place. This misdirection can lead to a false sense of progress while the actual issues remain unresolved. Let’s take racism, for instance. Imagine a society riddled with racial prejudice. The knee-jerk reaction might be to enact a flurry of laws banning racist speech and criminalizing discriminatory behavior. This might silence the outward expressions of hate, but it won’t change the underlying beliefs. People might simply become more covert in their racism, harboring the same prejudices behind a facade of forced politeness. So, what’s the logical solution? Education. We need to educate people, in a clear and scientific way, that skin color has no bearing on intelligence, capability, or worth.

It’s just pigment, a biological happenstance. When people understand this fundamental truth, ingrained beliefs start to crumble. Now, this doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s a far more sustainable approach than simply outlawing racism. This trap of “regulation as band-aid” extends far beyond social issues. Consider the growing concern around artificial intelligence (AI). Some governments are pushing for heavy regulations, fearing an “AI apocalypse” where intelligent machines take over. These regulations might stifle progress, restricting experimentation and limiting access to these powerful tools. Here’s the thing: AI misuse isn’t an inherent problem of the technology itself. It’s a reflection of a deeper societal issue — the human desire to exploit an advantage. We live in a competitive world, vying for resources, social status, and power. This constant pressure can lead some individuals to misuse any tool, be it AI or a simple hammer. Regulations might create a false sense of security, but they won’t solve the underlying problem.

3ff166c5-ac7b-4222-b852-76ccd5e927b1

We need to address the root causes of this competitive pressure, the mental health issues that can lead to misuse of technology, and the societal structures that reward exploitation. Regulations are a misallocation of resources, a way to feel like we’re doing something while the real issue festers beneath the surface. Think about school bullying. Schools often react to violence by banning certain behaviors or implementing stricter rules. But what about the underlying emotional turmoil that causes a student to bully? Are we addressing the mental health issues, the lack of social support, or the home environments that might be fueling this behavior? Often, the answer is no. We focus on the immediate symptom — the fight — while ignoring the root cause — the emotional distress. The Fallacy of Criminalization: Empowering Stability, Logic, and Innovation In the evolving landscape of civilization, a critical issue demands our attention: the pervasive culture of secrecy and the potential for destruction that it breeds.

It is time to shine a light on the concerns of ordinary citizens and empower them with the tools necessary to create a more stable and prosperous future. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to play a pivotal role in this transformation. AI for Augmenting Intelligence and Stability: AI can serve as a powerful instrument for augmenting human intelligence. By leveraging its capabilities, we can enhance the intellectual capacity of individuals, fostering a society that is more informed, analytical, and innovative. With improved access to knowledge and a heightened ability to process information, people can make more logical decisions. Increased logical reasoning can lead to a reduction in impulsive actions and a more measured approach to problem-solving, thereby minimizing the potential for destructive behavior. Addressing Misuse and Instability: The instability and misuse of technology are not inherent flaws in the tools themselves but reflect deeper issues within human society. People thrive in stable environments, yet we often promote competition for limited resources, fostering an atmosphere of scarcity and tension. This, coupled with societal pressures and an uneven power structure, can contribute to instability and misuse.

083bda0c-55fc-444b-9149-d4ff5f05ff7c

By creating an environment where basic needs are met, where individuals feel secure and valued, and where logical reasoning and mutual understanding prevail, we can significantly reduce impulsive and destructive behavior. Ensuring that people don’t have to worry about their fundamental survival needs and providing a platform for open and accurate communication can help align priorities and reduce misinterpretations that often lead to conflict. Aligned Priorities and a Unified Humanity: Imagine a world where humanity is not fragmented by identities vying for superiority, but instead, we recognize our shared goals and aspirations. By promoting unity and a sense of collective responsibility, we can shift our focus to addressing the challenges we face together. Aligned priorities on a global scale could mean a drastic reduction in conflicts and a more efficient allocation of resources, further minimizing the potential for destruction. Reducing Destructive Behavior: The goal is not to eradicate all destructive behavior entirely, as that may be unrealistic. However, by creating a stable and informed society, we can push such behavior to the point of insignificance.

Criminalization and restrictive measures often lead to a restrictive singularity, where freedom and innovation are stifled. Instead, by addressing the root causes of instability and promoting logical reasoning, we can achieve a more balanced and harmonious world. Empowering Individuals, Minimizing “Bad Actors”: With improved stability, aligned priorities, and enhanced intellectual capabilities, the concept of “good and bad actors” becomes less relevant. When individuals are provided for, educated, and empowered, the incentive to engage in destructive behavior diminishes. A slight correction in the power structure, ensuring equal opportunities and access to resources, can significantly reduce the number of “bad actors.” The Misalignment of Priorities: Unraveling the Roots of Unstable Behavior In societies plagued by economic and social inequality, it’s no surprise that some individuals find themselves in positions of power, often using their resources to seek even more power. But why does this happen? The answer lies in a fundamental misalignment of priorities.

7c331f04-bb42-4647-b5e8-311ea6e39a5c

When people lack a clear understanding of how to utilize their resources for stability, they tend to focus on self-interest and power-seeking instead. The Social Conundrum: Segmentation and Discrimination As social creatures, we have an inherent tendency to form groups and socialize within them, often at the expense of others outside our circle. This segregation leads to discrimination, further exacerbating the issues of inequality and instability. We need to recognize that our natural inclination towards group formation can have devastating consequences if left unchecked. The Forgotten Factors: Environment and Upbringing Even when social and economic factors are stable, we often overlook the profound impact of environmental influences on our behavior. For instance, boys are frequently taught to prioritize ego-boosting and conflict resolution over stability and emotional intelligence. This skewed upbringing sets them up for a life of delusional thinking, consumed by ideals of heroism and sacrifice. It’s a recipe for disaster. The Ineffectiveness of Punishment Punishment rarely leads to self-reflection and growth.

e36da3a7-87f7-4fdd-a907-528975f7688d

Instead, individuals often feel foolish for getting caught, without truly understanding the error of their ways. The human brain doesn’t respond well to induced suffering; it needs a well-informed environment to comprehend why certain actions are wrong. Punishment can even backfire, fostering resentment and driving people further underground, where they become more difficult to detect. The built-up emotions eventually erupt like a ticking time bomb. The Futility of Punishment as a Solution If punishment were an effective deterrent, crime would have been eradicated long ago, especially considering the severity of punishments like the death penalty. The reality is that punishment only addresses symptoms, not the root causes of unstable behavior. The Environment: The True Culprit The primary cause of instability lies in the environment, where competition for resources, influential people, and social hierarchies shape our behavior. Until we address these underlying factors, we’ll continue to see people struggling with unstable thought patterns and behaviors.

9c127565-933b-409f-8db8-f2c01065348b

It’s time to shift our focus from punishment to education, environment, and social reform, empowering individuals to make informed choices and create a more stable, harmonious society. Conclusion: In conclusion, the path to a stable and prosperous world lies in addressing the root causes of instability and misuse. By empowering individuals with AI augmentation, fostering stable environments, promoting logical reasoning, and aligning priorities, we can minimize destructive behavior and create a more harmonious society. It is time to embrace logic, transparency, and unity, thereby reducing the potential for destruction to an insignificant level and paving the way for a brighter future for all humanity. The Dark Side of AI Regulation: Power Concentration and Empowering Elites The fear-mongering tactics of numerous companies and individuals are pushing governments to heavily regulate AI, which could lead to a scenario where people are forced to accept a heavily controlled and censored AI landscape. This would not only stifle innovation but also create an insurmountable barrier to entry for those outside the field.

Imagine a future where setting up your own AI system requires government approval, and only heavily censored models are allowed to exist. The benefits of open-source AI are undeniable. It has the potential to revolutionize education by providing personalized learning experiences, which our current education system is woefully inadequate at delivering. Open-source AI would also allow more people to understand its inner workings, identify its flaws, and contribute to its improvement. Moreover, open-source AI would enable people to automate mundane tasks, making their lives easier. With open-source AI, nothing would be unknown, and people from all over the world would be able to test and refine AI systems. AI is poised to become the primary source of knowledge, and blocking open-source AI would be equivalent to blocking the flow of knowledge. In today’s world, where humanity faces numerous complex problems, we need to empower everyone with high-level knowledge, not just a select few.

The most alarming consequence of blocking open-source AI is that it would concentrate power in the hands of a few individuals, exacerbating the already staggering power inequality between ordinary people and the powerful elite. It’s essential to recognize that the misuse of AI is a human problem, not a technological one. Any technology can be misused, just like people can misuse their teeth or fire. The key to preventing misuse lies in addressing the environmental and societal factors that drive people to use technology destructively. Mental crisis and how humans are making it worse. The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of loneliness, lack of positive reinforcement, and mental instability. These issues are worsening at an alarming rate, and humans are notoriously bad at addressing them. Our inherent judgmental nature and societal pressures often exacerbate these problems, making it difficult for individuals to seek help. Mental health is a complex issue that cannot be solved by simply telling someone to “do something.” It requires a deeper understanding of the societal and environmental factors that contribute to mental instability.

3afb25e8-bc44-4517-acdb-5477c46fc5b9

People with traits deemed unfavorable by society often face ruthless judgment, which can further deteriorate their mental well-being. In this bleak landscape, open-source AI offers a glimmer of hope. AI systems can provide emotional support, companionship, and positive reinforcement to those who need it most. They can help individuals develop coping mechanisms, offer personalized therapy, and even assist in diagnosing mental health conditions. Open-source AI can also help bridge the gap between mental health professionals and those seeking help. By providing access to AI-powered mental health tools, people can receive support and guidance without fear of judgment or stigma. Moreover, open-source AI can facilitate the development of more effective mental health interventions by allowing researchers and developers to collaborate and share knowledge. The Misguided Pursuit of Limiting Technology and fear-mongering Whenever a new technology emerges, the most significant resources and time are invested in figuring out how to limit its potential, rather than addressing the underlying societal issues that drive its misuse. This approach is not only immature but also counterproductive.

4500fcef-5921-4c68-98fd-3be2a9a9e817

By focusing on limiting technology, we neglect the root causes of societal instability, which continue to fuel the problems we’re trying to solve. This only leads to more instability, as people without power continue to fight a futile battle against those in power. Meanwhile, those in power will inevitably use these same technologies to further their own interests, often by creating conflicts with other nations. Limiting technology to solve its misuse is a Band-Aid solution that ignores the deeper issues plaguing our society. It’s a shortsighted approach that will only lead to more chaos and instability. Instead, we should be investing our time and resources in addressing the underlying problems that drive people to misuse technology in the first place. If limiting technology were a viable solution, we would have stopped at the discovery of fire. We would have never developed the wheel, knife, metal objects, hammer, pen, camera, or internet. The fact that we have continued to develop new technologies despite their potential for misuse is a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to adapt.

The nuclear technology, often compared to AI, is a prime example of how a powerful tool can be misused by those in power. Nuclear energy was not inherently a weapon, but it was transformed into one by those who sought power and conflict. Today, nuclear energy struggles to gain acceptance, largely due to fear-mongering and misinformation. Similarly, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which have solved numerous food-related problems, face challenges and skepticism, again, due to fear-mongering. This pattern of fear-mongering and misguided solutions is likely to reach new heights in the age of AI regulation. Almost every bill seeking to regulate AI focuses on the potential risks, stoking fears and misconceptions, rather than addressing the underlying issues that drive people to misuse technology. This approach not only hinders progress but also perpetuates a cycle of fear, mistrust, and control. By learning from the past, we can break this cycle and ensure that AI is developed and used in a way that benefits humanity, rather than perpetuating power struggles and conflicts.

Only then can we truly harness the power of AI for the greater good. The Illusion of Solutions: Looking Beyond Superficial Fixes In our ever-evolving world, the emergence of new technologies often brings forth both excitement and fear. With each new advancement, the concern about potential misuse becomes a prevalent topic of discussion. However, our approach to addressing these concerns tends to focus on limiting the technology itself, rather than understanding the underlying issues. This article aims to shed light on the fallacy of such limited perspectives and advocates for a scientific understanding of human behavior and interaction as a means to approach these complex challenges. Misconstrued Priorities When faced with the misuse of technology, it is crucial to recognize that the true problem lies not in the technology itself, but in how humans utilize it. Instead of grasping this fundamental truth, we often resort to oversimplifying the issue by employing concepts like “good” and “evil” to describe and solve the problem. This leads to the creation of punishment and criminalization plans that offer little more than collective gratification.

626ce04c-1dd5-49e6-a9ae-9384a90f6ebe

Superficial Solutions Punitive measures such as locking up individuals and subjecting them to ridicule may temporarily appease our sense of justice. However, this approach fails to address the root causes of instability in human thinking. Furthermore, it can potentially contribute to larger societal unrest, creating an endless cycle of instability that poses a greater threat to humanity than any technological advancement. Challenging Preconceived Notions In order to find genuine solutions, we must confront our limitations in interpreting and understanding complex matters. Concepts like good and evil, control, free will, and accountability, although useful in everyday human communication, prove insufficient when it comes to comprehending the intricacies of the natural world, including the physical and psychological aspects of human behavior. The Scientific Approach To truly address the challenges at hand, we need to adopt a dynamic system that continuously self-corrects and prioritizes based on scientific insights. Science offers a powerful iterative process that allows us to gather information, deepen our understanding, and develop technologies to acquire even more knowledge.

57731827-6f71-4cd5-8d9d-7c7e06554286

This method has proven effective for centuries and holds the potential to guide us toward meaningful solutions. Understanding Human Factors A comprehensive approach to addressing instability requires us to examine various factors influencing human thought processes. We must consider environmental influences, mental states, interpersonal interactions, and even underlying mental disorders. By studying and comprehending these elements, we can gain a deeper understanding of why individuals may exhibit unstable thinking patterns. Conclusion In our pursuit of solutions, it is essential to transcend the illusionary fixes that merely scratch the surface. We must abandon the notion that limiting technology can resolve complex societal challenges. Instead, a scientific approach that delves into the intricate workings of human behavior and interaction holds the key to progress. By understanding and addressing the factors influencing instability in human thought, we can build a more stable and harmonious future for humanity. Let us embrace the power of knowledge and prioritize scientific advancements as we navigate the complexities of our ever-changing world. Language is where all problems start.

7e1ba72e-ec86-42fc-a93b-8640dc4ced58

Language is the tool we use to interpret most things in our lives, and we rarely consider the underlying system and mechanics of language. However, what if I told you that language is the source of all problems? I will provide you with some fascinating insights into this unknown world of language's effects and structure. Simplified history of language Let's begin with the early days of humanity. During that time, like other animal species, we were part of the natural food chain, engaging in activities such as hunting, protecting ourselves from predators, and finding food. At this stage of human history, we had a relatively complex language, though not as complex as today's. It was primarily based on what we encountered the most, such as naming dangerous animals so everyone could be alerted, establishing individual identities for coordination, and incorporating numbers and other aspects of daily life. As you can see, directly interpreting things solely from observation may provide a survival-oriented idea of what something is, but it is not necessarily the most accurate or close to reality.

16add9ef-7cc2-42c6-8de5-b5cf4702eefc

Rather, interpretations were usually geared towards survival and reproduction, aiding individuals in their related activities. The level of interpretation of natural phenomena mostly depended on how much time individuals had to think and investigate about their interpretations. In early times, people had limited time for such pursuits as immediate concerns focused on survival-related matters. However, as humans built bigger and stronger settlements, the average time individuals had for thinking increased. Early humans laid the groundwork for language by developing basic concepts such as numbers, animal interpretations, and methods for identifying individuals. Over time, more complex layers were added to this foundation. Ultimately, we discovered methods to check interpretations and approach a closer understanding of reality, rather than relying solely on raw interpretation. We developed the fundamental principles of science, marking the beginning of problems because early humans lacked systematic ways to verify the accuracy of their interpretations. They were content with initial interpretations that sufficed for survival. As humans gained more time, obvious misinterpretations were filtered out, but the most basic fundamental concepts remained misunderstood.

3722ff9f-97dd-4b63-90f8-97a4d4899133

In the era of science, when we had tools and knowledge to validate early human interpretations, we disregarded them and continued to create more complex abstract concepts on top of an already flawed structure. Flaws that create all the problems Let's examine some fundamental concepts in human language that are completely misinterpreted. For example, the concept of creation: we know that nothing can be created or destroyed in the universe. Instead, matter is transformed or rearranged. Similarly, the concept of control is misconstrued. No one can truly control things; rather, things influence each other in a chain of events. When you are influenced by something, you, in turn, influence other things. This misunderstanding gives rise to a grand illusion that has plagued humans for many years: free will. It stems from the misinterpretation of control. The illusion occurs when individuals feel they are in control of something, but in reality, they are simply observing their influence on other things without full awareness of what influenced them.

50dc71b9-152b-40d2-af77-f7d4383693c5

Another example is the concept of good and evil, a human abstraction created for social politics. While it may have helped maintain stable social circles, it is built upon a mountain of misinterpreted reality. Good and evil are subjective, narrow-viewed concepts. When something is not comprehended from multiple aspects, observers perceive things based on pre-established ideas of what is considered good or bad. This is why I referred to it as a mountain of misinterpretation. In early times, for instance, not contributing to resource gathering or causing discomfort to someone might have been considered bad. However, as explained in the section on control, this perspective fails to consider what influenced an individual's actions; it merely focuses on the actions themselves. Therefore, labeling someone as good or evil based on these limited criteria is inadequate for modern morality. To truly understand human behavior, one must update their understanding based on the most up-to-date scientific knowledge. Calling someone good or evil can be considered a grave mistake, as it often leads to a destructive cycle known as the punishment stage.

ab2a5c60-dea1-4ed1-94b6-657c8fa940f9

As previously explained, good and evil only work when one is unaware of the full context of events, including what influenced a specific occurrence and where the source lies. By tracing the chain of events, which extends far beyond the birth of an individual labeled as evil, one realizes the interconnectedness of actions. All of these language issues contribute to the problems we see in the world. Language is the primary means by which we interpret the world and each other as individuals. Any misinterpretation causes extinction-level instability, from conflicts and misaligned priorities to identity segmentation. It prevents us from addressing the true source of issues and often exacerbates them, leading us to believe that we are helping when, in fact, we are not. Why politics is worse than Clement Change We know that climate change is a real threat to the stability of the earth’s ecosystems. But if there is ever a time when human civilization or humans as a species feel threatened by extinction or the horror of fading into obscurity, then the likely culprit will not be climate change or even AI, but rather politics.

e1268bfc-5dbd-4d47-8390-2dafa022758d

This may sound to some like a statement without reason or like the basis for validation of some political ideology, but the aspect I am talking about will make the concept of politics totally meaningless or nonsensical. If we start to explain or break down most meaningless-looking things, then we will find that the reason they exist is not meaningless, but rather meaningless in this context because of the incompatibility between human self-awareness, self-described actions, and the reality of the world around us. I will be going from high-level concepts to very low-level concepts. High level: Things we see and discuss in everyday life, such as friendship, relationships, emotion, day-to-day activities, and thoughts. Low levels: All the way from evolution to genetics to subatomic particles The problem Politics, I said, is worse than Clement Change because it operates at the highest levels. It is unlike science, which discusses, defines, and makes sense, or at least tries to, from the highest to the lowest levels.

d5662741-da1e-40fe-a5ef-8e72c50584a2

So the problem is that politics keeps things at high levels like morality, ethics, religion, responsibility, action, and emotion without considering the lower levels of reality or the source of those things. This means that politics often lacks the depth and nuance needed to truly address the complexities of the world, and can result in superficial or misguided decisions. Additionally, politics is driven by self-interest and power dynamics, which lead to corruption and manipulation rather than genuine progress or solutions. In contrast, science aims to understand and explain the underlying mechanisms and phenomena of the world, regardless of societal or personal biases, and can offer more practical and objective solutions. It's clear and obvious that politics is not compatible with science; politics doesn't solve anything but rather deflects or downplays, so it looks solved. In engineering, there is a saying that the more moving parts you have in your system, the more chances there are for a point of failure.

31c91e13-bd5b-49d8-8ef4-7e231d78c6b5

You can also say that the more identity you have in a hierarchy, the more chances of potential conflict will increase, So how is that a problem with a politics, the ultimate goal of politics is not to solve problems or stabilize the civilization, but rather it's a system of hierarchy that helps an individual or a group of people to maintain power in the hierarchy, and the politics itself directly and a good deal of time help in increasing the amount of identities in a civilization When I say identities, I mean culture, race, gender, political identity, religion, nationality, and any kind of identity that people often put themselves in. We are now 8 billion humans, each with their own individual self-interest. Many times, many seem similar, but they are entirely unique, shaped by their environment and their biology; now do the math and calculate the potential for conflicts. And I have not even talked about the ruling individual or group; the situation they are in presents them with so many options to satisfy their self-interest that it is just astronomical.

5f217598-06f1-4e7a-a7ee-69b7ae432b1d

Any biological human with human emotions is simply incapable of making objective and objective decisions; most are there for politics, which is a power struggle and not an attempt to stabilize; politics is not like science; any kind of politics does not seek understanding or try to improve itself based on evidence, and it may be the most disconnected thing from science. The solution we always come up with is usually restriction, punishment, or regulation, which at first glance may seem genuine, but if the goal of these so-called solutions is to stabilize civilization, then they are not working — not even a few percent—rather, they create an enormous cycle of destructive instability that becomes a very unsolvable mess by pushing the problem a little further and introducing many new small problems into big ones. We humans are controlled by our environment and not the other way around; if you want to stabilize a civilization of people, then stabilize their environment. We biological humans are inefficient at reiterating anything because we lack the speed sufficient to stabilize and improve before the destabilizing side effects of the new approach or changes arrive.

7b3afa97-0298-4857-a3fe-d8c65e99b3a6

And every time we try to reiterate our way of running civilization, we suffer the loss of human life and often lay the groundwork for new, bigger, and more destructive conflicts. And these can last up to a couple of human generations. If conflicts are a part of reiterating, then I can’t say that this civilization will achieve stability anytime soon.
