I think history would beg to differ.
How so?
Centuries upon centuries of tribalism and war instead of diplomatic missions. Do ... do you even know the history of humanity??
There's a reason people call modern times the most peaceful time in history ... while there are wars and genocides still going on.
I did not say that war and conflict don't happen, I am asking you to prove that in a general way they are more efficient than adaption, co-operation, co-existence or simple non-engagement and avoidance are as strategies.
It isn't more efficient. That's why I will always call humans dumb and arrogant. That's not the argument being made, either. The argument was that it is easier to destroy, not more efficient.
