For thousands of years people have fought one another for control of natural resources, and dominance. What I think happens is a cycle of increased anger, then war, fear, regret, recovery, growth, satisfaction, complacency, arrogance, annoyance, anger, increased anger, war, fear. And so on round that cycle.
But now war in the western world is not possible because of the nuclear deterrant. So does this block this cycle? And are we going to see an un-checked buildup of anger over the next few tens of years resulting in sufficient anger to cause a major nuclear conflict in the west, with devastating results?
