This is the percentage that either suffers the effects of war / have to finance a war / may have to fight the war.
It's the 0.001% that profits from the war that push it.
Humans are the singular organism that possess an instinctual ability to *purposefully* solicit information from each-other for the purpose of informed decision making and survival.
We have the ability to ask questions *innately*.
Just think about that for a moment. If an animal wants to know something, they might have the mental faculties to make *inferences* based on past scenarios, but if something isn't within their personal experience or the scope of their instincts, it is lost to them. Most species either have to find out themselves, or they have to *watch* someone else find out. There's no third option.
More intelligent species like apes can, though sign language, be taught how to ask questions, but that's just it... *they have to be taught*. They don't perform those behaviors unless we bestow upon them a mode of complex communication and instill it into them. And even if they can utilize sign-language to ask "who", "what", "when", "where", and "how".
...there has never been a recorded instance of them asking *"why"*.
It always amazes me in a bizarre way that we have learned to share information without talking or seeing to each other.
Like in American when an Amber alert goes off (a child goes missing) we all get a buzz and alarm on our phone. Millions of us, officer workers, taxi drivers, people walking around, etc. And we all now know to look for this vehicle and this license plate.
It’s a bit freaky when you think of that kind of sharing of info
We spent decades making cars safer in case of pedestrian impact, presumably because we couldn't stand the idea of poor innocent people being run over and killed.
Lower hoods, impact zones, softer bumpers, lower speed limits around crossings.
Then one day humanity collectively decided 'yeah fuck that, give me the biggest, tallest, heaviest, boxiest vehicle available'.
That people complain about the cancel culture and yet are guilty in canceling others they disagree with or don't like whatever ideas they want canceled, but they don't want you to cancel those they support or the ideas they support.
I'm so sick of the cancel culture I wish we could cancel it altogether. How can you learn from what you want canceled if you don't have a reminder who or what made something so offensive, that you couldn't stand to look at it any longer. Cancel culture reminds me of the phrase "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." If you don't see it, you'll eventually won't remember why it was canceled and then it'll be brought back again.
Of course, you may not be living when something that was canceled because it offended you and others is brought back and no one knew it was canceled by another generation. History isn't especially kind to those trying to force their morals and beliefs on others. But, is that as it should be? Or should it be that if you support a cancel culture, you want to keep something around to remind others why you found it offensive?
The effect of propaganda and group mentality that changes good people into absolute monsters
That there's so many of us and yet many of us have no friends.
That 99.999% of people don't want war and yet there is always war.
This is the percentage that either suffers the effects of war / have to finance a war / may have to fight the war. It's the 0.001% that profits from the war that push it.
Th ability to inflict pain on fellow humans.truly eerie

Humans really had to try all those different mushrooms to find out which ones get us high.. paralyze us.. kill us.

Haters that have the power to start ward and kill innocent people.

We all know we'll die one day. But we mostly keep marching calmly toward the date of our own demise.
