I was curious what happened to the leader of that peace delegation, seems like an interesting story: <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/magazine/1641401/david-ifshins-journey/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/magazine/1641401/david-if...</a><p>Why can't we all get along is a good question. I had no clue when I was the age of those students, and I still don't.
These days noone seems to have peace to the world as a dream and driving force. I grew up in the spirit that we should try to achieve peace everywhere. Nowadays when people think about war they think about cool technology, who wins all the resources and they think earning money selling weapons. If WW3 really gets off I feel pretty sure it's going to end in science fiction with AI, robots and lasers, it's no longer just stories. Perhaps we will all end up in a Skynet/Terminator scenario? When the technology is there, who will end up controlling it - big tech or the technology itself? I stopped caring about making innovations a couple of years ago - noone is ever trying to mitigate the doomsday. We're not this dumb, we could use our innovations to do some real good.<p>The number of comments on this post is quite telling.<p>Hope to see ya all in another future, not the one we're heading for. I just wish people did care.
"Citizens Peace Treaty". Those words sound so nice to libertarian ears. Oh, if only the citizens of the countries could just get together, throw out their warring politicians, and make peace. Wouldn't that be nice.
