But without aggression and war, would we all not be picking berries and sitting around a campfire singing kum ba yah? The drive to survive is interwoven with aggression and protection. It has been a prime mover in the growth of knowledge and technology.
I'm not defending aggression, in fact I am more interested in defending myself and family *from* aggression. It's interesting that the technology and knowledge to do both is basically the same.
My favorite military saying is "The best offense is a good defense".
And you are right, without aggression we would not have progressed as far. That was my point earlier.
For those that think this is all there is, nothing "special" waiting for them. You should be the most aggressive about finding a way to escape this planet. In the timeline of the Universe, we can't stay here much longer.
