War
Eric JelinskiApril 30, 2024
The first and really only big problem is war. It has happened everywhere, throughout history. It will continue.
The idea that one person or group wants to control others, and then creates a waste of materials and energy.
Much of that comes from religion, that is some group thinks that their ‘friend in the sky’ is superior to other group’s friends in the sky and seeks to dominate.
Some other excuses for fighting is to seize the land and assets of other countries, eg. Russia vs Ukraine.
How much energy is expended by missiles and manufacturing war materials, transporting troops and equipment?
How much energy and materials are wasted by manufacturing machines of destruction?
How much of the above energy could be directed to improve quality of life via food and shelter?
