       | "Citizens Peace Treaty". Those words sound so nice to libertarian
       | ears. Oh, if only the citizens of the countries could just get
       | together, throw out their warring politicians, and make peace.
       | Wouldn't that be nice.

         | Also, domestic chores aren't contrary to (potential) government
         | de facto policy, and thus don't come with extreme risk.

       | These days noone seems to have peace to the world as a dream and
       | driving force. I grew up in the spirit that we should try to
       | achieve peace everywhere. Nowadays when people think about war
       | they think about cool technology, who wins all the resources and
       | they think earning money selling weapons. If WW3 really gets off
       | I feel pretty sure it's going to end in science fiction with AI,
       | robots and lasers, it's no longer just stories. Perhaps we will
       | all end up in a Skynet/Terminator scenario? When the technology
       | is there, who will end up controlling it - big tech or the
       | technology itself? I stopped caring about making innovations a
       | couple of years ago - noone is ever trying to mitigate the
       | doomsday. We're not this dumb, we could use our innovations to do
       | some real good.
       | 
       | The number of comments on this post is quite telling.
       | 
       | Hope to see ya all in another future, not the one we're heading
       | for. I just wish people did care.

         | style. Hopefully it's coming back in fashion.
