climate change is not going to cause gradual changes. there will be bursts of great change when glacial lakes break glacial dams and sudden changes in the oceans' temperatures will cause violent weather and rapid coastal flooding. also the weight of the ice being lifted off greenland and antarctic shelves will multiply the effects. i don't think humans will go extinct but it could plunge us into another dark age. which may not be so bad for the planet, but will delay us colonizing space before an asteroid inevitably hits us.

The existence of the states rests on its ability to successfully conduct wars and win them.

If a state cannot successfully conduct and win wars, the state will be conquered by another state.

This is a quote.The existence of the states rests on its ability to successfully conduct wars and win them.

not sure if you're serious or just trolling.^^ and even if that makes any sense, an example never proves a thesis.

Jobs -> Poverty because all jobs are fundamentally not equal

so maybe capitalism provides poverty, but jobs first of all provide income, that preserves the existence. I still dont see the connection between jobs and poverty.

shyb, dont you think that natural disasters have always been there, even before humanity increased the CO2 emission?

I'll shower you with examples of states who successfully won wars, but then lost wars and were conquered by other states :

Assyria
Babylon
Neo-Assyria and Neo-Babylon
Carthaginian Empire
Khwarezmian Empire
Persian Empire
Kievan Rus
German Empire
Ottoman Empire
Spanish Empire
French Empire
Iroquois Confederation
Cherokee
Mexican Empire
Edit : Aztec
Inca
Zulu


As you can see, this principal of states relying on their ability to win wars in order to survive is something transcendent.

Many people will claim that states are built on the principals of economy, but that is not true. Economy is controlled by the states and to some extent the people, which are a part of the state. And the state is derived from war. Without war, the state cannot expand, if it cannot expand then it will be weak. If it is weak then it will be conquered through some form. If a state expands then it will continue to get stronger. But as a state gets stronger from expansion and successful wars the state will overexpand itself. The culmination of many new cultures, rebellious new peoples and a complete flip from warfare to peace causes interruption in power and administration, and thus a weakening of the state. To get stronger and avoid the weakening, the state must expand, and the process continues. Thus, the state that stays weak will get conquered, and the state that expands will get conquered. All states are getting conquered because no state can continuously and infinitely win every war it is involved in. However, people will cling to the society that is strongest or is strong to some extent or in proportion to their situation, and they will trust that state with their protection. If state was derivative from economy, then all societies would be peaceful and would trade and engage in economic activity. But then again, why would there be a state if economy was so existent and prevalent? We could engage in economic activity and trade in peace to get the things we need. No state would be necessary. But this hasn't happened, and it never has. So the state is derivative from war. This is because war causes people to join a side (a state) in order to be protected and not caught in the middle, because people are afraid of other people and their ability, because people want to be united together against causes they despise and because people are not easily united in trade as they are in war. Again I say, if the State was derived from Economic Pursuits, the State would not need to exist because why would there need to be a state if the people live at ease and with trade.

LETS (#1) is a time currency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_currency


It was put into place in the 1950 and (+) around the world. Some banks use time currency dollars. I don't know how all the details. :(


You should get time dollars for educating yourself. Otherwise, paying/losing time with no gain is not good life motivation.
