Howdy sir deepwaters! Very interesting and educational video, I had no idea all the major components of our phones came from innovations that were connected to war.

That was also the most surprising part for me. That phones hold so much military technology.
In a way, I think cell phones will definitely be an object of war. With the battlefield shifting towards cyber space, surveillance, and psychological operations.
Yes sir very true. I hope that guy is wrong about a global war coming! Can't we just freaking get along? I think most people just want to live in peace and be left alone to do their thing and enjoy life.
Global wars are catastrophic. In WW2, 2/3 of the total casualties were civilian deaths. It is best to not imagine war, but it is a complex and very real phenomenon.
The first step towards no war, is to take away the powers of the State to wage wars.
Howdy sir deepwaters! "take away the powers of the State to wage wars." Has anyone ever been able to do that, peacefully?
I think that as more people learn that the State is a creator of war, and not an ender of wars, then the revolution will be progressing.
Political revolutions are rarely peaceful, you are right.
This though, is a revolution of consciousness. Non-violence can be surprisingly powerful.
It's interesting to see what's going on in Hong Kong now, with masses of people forcing the Chinese government to back down.
I have not read about that recently. Though I do have some friends in Hong Kong, and they have have been posting about the subject. Even in person, the people of Hong Kong are very clear in stating they are not a part of China.
On the topic of War, have you heard of Anarchapulco?
It's a Libertarian conference event that occurs in Acapulco. I have been planning to go for the past year, and I think I will go in 2020. Check what their advertisement says.
I am interested in what they have to say about ending wars.
Howdy sir deepwaters! yes, I've read about it for years, Jeff Berwick's conference? I used to get his newsletters all the time but I think he stopped writing those or something changed.
That's odd. I must have gotten at least two of their newsletters just this week. I think they just publish more directly through their website and also here (Steemit) under the name "thedollarvigilante".
Closer to the date, I will know if I can attend.
thanks for the information sir deepwaters!
