“Is war an inevitable outcome of competing interests in a complex society? In other words, would war be the same even if human nature were very different? There are mathematical models of large groups working together that lead to conflict on a reliable basis. So there's a whole other view of war that is not psychological at all.” IfsHumansDifferentWarWholeTogetherInterestViewsGroupsHuman NatureConflictModelsBasesComplexesPsychologicalMathematicalInevitableOutcomesWorking TogetherCompetingLarge GroupsMathematical Models Author:Jaron Lanier
