00:00What are nations getting out of this and is this a fight for resources or territory or security or power?
00:08The reasons belong to the cave and the stone and the jungle. The reasons have not evolved.
00:21Civilizations have evolved. The ego has not evolved, right? Does the ego evolve?
00:28Science does. Technologies do. Civilizations do. Systems do.
00:34But the ego does not evolve. At least not in a period as limited as let's say 2000 or 5000
00:45years.
00:47That's too small a period for even the biological ego to evolve.
00:51So we fight for the same reasons as the early man did.
00:57You said resources. No, no. Resources are an alibi.
