re: #134 Aunty Entity Dragon

Because I am finishing my degree in history right now, and I have seen nothing in Europe, The Americas, Mesopotamia, China, India or anywhere advanced beyond hunter gatherer social development to suggest anything like that is the case. First off, how do you define “long periods”?

Can you quote Hobbes to support your contentions about what he says about inter-group war?

You might point out some Pacific islanders had “long” perods of calm. They also had no neighbors. Then, you can also look at Easter Island which went batshit insane. Long ears exterminating short ears and vice versa. I honestly do not think your claim is supportable on the merits. I also think you honstly believe it and I love you death…and I hate arguments.

If you hate arguments, why are you studying history?

Let me give you a hug for now, and I have to get showered and ready to take the family to see a movie.

I encourage you to reread Hobbes and attempt to find anywhere he talks about intergroup war being inevitable. He doesn’t.
