I am a combat veteran Marine from the Persian Gulf War.. I was diagnosed with chronic PTSD at a 100% rate in 2011. I know the COST taking another human beings life.
War is ABSOLUTELY AVOIDABLE.
Each and everyone of us can awaken from the illusion that promotes the slavery of our conscious behavior and beliefs.
I Take responsibility for the experiences/past, however I no longer let that dictate who I AM. I live presently, I stay away from social media, I don’t watch the news, I watch movies to avoid commercials and other negative influences and I purposely practice love, peace happiness and joy.
you cant live in deniel,its lieing to yourself.the u.s needs wars to survive.it creates wars.911 especially to get the u.s people on side so it could invade who ever it wanted.most u.s military,only learn the truth,once they have been to war.its a shock to them that they have been lied to,all there life.america is living on borrowed time,.it owes trillions to china,.theres no point in ruling the world,you cant take it anywhere,it just causes suffering for billions of innocent people.just trying to live..IF,we could live as one,on this one planet,for the betterment of humanity,instead of killing each other,.we might actually advance in intellect.?.INSTEAD OF RUNNING AROUND LIKE 2 YR OLDS.dont let it get to you,search the truth,we were put here,a long time ago.made in there image.religion,is a lie..you want to watch a movie,,promethius..thats,about as real as it gets..from aus..4x4ing,camping.
War is no more avoidable then is a hurricane. That would require people, ALL people to shun their destructive natures. The only way that's going to happen is through intense global reeducation...that people are going to resist...which causes more violence.
Look up on UA-cam, while you still can, the Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion Full Audiobook that is 3 hours 38 minutes duration. Most video playing the contents of this have been deleted by UA-cam. If one was caught with a copy in Russia after the Jewish backed, led, funded and controlled Bolshevik Revolution, they were shot on the spot. They don't want you to know about the contents of the Protocols.
Daniel Dow - IF YOU DON’T ALREADY KNOW, PLEASE LET ME SAY THAT GOD( JESUS), THE CREATOR, IS LOVE ON THE DIVINE LEVEL: I CORINTHIANS 13, ET. AL. FROM HIS WORD, I KNOW THAT YOUR SOURCE IS GOD .
thats why everybody wears the thrasher magazine hoodies these days,,, it is how to have war with one's self so much so that you get so much respect that no one else wants to kill you. thrasher magazine or the website is the least racist thing in this world, what it promotes is pure violence... i have been a skateboarder for over 20 years and i have never heard of a skater from any other country hate any other skater from any of the countries.... hard work or (kung fu) unites everyone and everyone puts their efforts into the pot..... i used skateboarding as one example,,, but i think its become the best example of converting the violence we have for other people and countries to an inward war that gets total respect.... youll see people wearing thrasher magazine hoodies everywhere.... more people should check its progress.... again,, i have never heard of war within the world of skateboarding on earth....... FOOTBALL IS WAR,, AND ALL ITS FANS HATE OPPOSING TEAMS.. THEY WAR AND RAPE OVER A LOST GAME. literally..... the kids are awesome.. the children rule...
That Q & A at the end was embarassing. The producers should fire themselves.
Disgraceful
Yes it was most annoying. I pointed that out as well before I saw your post. Glad others others thought so also.
Yes, what was that?
Yeh the buzzer thing? WTF? Only in the wanna be hip shit hole that is Europe.....
Funny, when I first saw his face in this thumbnail, with "George" looming above his head, I thought for a second it was George W Bush.
Turns out I wasn't all that far off
Five years ago George said in this presentation that War would happen again in Europe. And he was right once again.
Because Friedman belongs to the planners of wars.
All technology is designed for the military industrial complex before its secured. Then for executive branches for commerce to the masses for logistical tracking.
Not just that. The free market upgrades tech. That helps inspire new tech for the researchers to pursue. Which in turn must be tested. Thus the cycle continues. Functions such as tracking of individuals are natural consequences of the advancement of tech. We willingly accept losing freedom to technology for convenience. Anyways its all going to get crazy soon so just watch it all play out. Remember we have nothing to fear. After all its better to go out on your feet rather than begging on your knees.
Cunning Hawk once a superior said the infantry are the backbone. In my response, I said you are mistaken for we are the king of battle here in the now without a queen. The consumers are backbone was my response for they write the checks,

Extremely informing;.. And Extremely alarming;.. And additionally disturbing is the sound of that GODDAMN Buzzer!
OMG!! 😱
Some 20 years ago I would have laughed and ten years ago would have smiled at this guy. But now I'm almost crying.
Ha ha ah ha...2020 says hello....

Who knows what 2023 will bring to us
Interesting times to live in..

This could have been condensed into 5 minutes.
HERBERT leitner lol I was just thinking that. Could of spoke chronologically
All scam artists like to fill our heads with a lot of junk, useless talking and noise so we're dizzy enough to bite their bait!
HERBERT leitner Yep!.. It could, but the war monger is very likely charging quite a few pennies for a ticket to watch him promote war, so he had to 'spread it out' to make people crazy enough to buy a ticket think that they had got their money's worth.

Stop Invasion Of Privacy the worst part about this guy is he’s trying to sell us that war is ok we need war because that’s how America thrives smfh
@@RT-rm9vb Believe me when I tell you, this guy is a mere misdirection from the real covert and spiritual war that's being waged on human nature today.
It's not called the ultimate deception for nothing.
"Russia invaded Syria and now we have Aleppo" the guy lost his 50% of his credibility just with that one statement.
I would say he lost it a hundred %
Yeah sure you globalist piece of crap. No credibility at all.

@@zivjaron Russia was invited to help the government. That's not what an invasion is
@@gina-leehutchin1231 The problem is, theyre psychopaths, look how many they murdered in Soviet and how they did it. Or how they slaughtered ppl in Palestine, Lebanon etc. Raping and butchering, crushing pregnats womens bellies, cutting limbs and heads off etc, all the worst way possible.
The format of this show is nuts but shows how long the average attention span is of our young.... How many would have the patience to read Hegel? Friedman is a hard-core realist and his message of being prepared for war is bound to fall on deaf ears, but he will be remembered as " I told you so."
Senator Mc Cain say the same in 2017 about Ukraine.
🎯
My dad (rip) told me 50 yrs ago that people make money out of war. I asked him who? He said and I quote " I dunno.... General Electric? ". Brings a tear to my eye.
There is no real money made in war. It is a myth that is generated over and over. Individual may make advancement in war but that is a different issue.
Ironically, Eisenhower made a famous speech warning America of the threat from the "Military Industrial Complex".
It is not rocket science, If they can make huge money from it they WILL ALWAYS DO IT
Yes! He did. This guy is way off-base.
Those who don't learn from their own mistakes are doomed to repeat them again
Just as those who blindly follow a religion or political figure.
Einstein's definition of insanity, "doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results"
The Q&A at the end, with the buzzer made a joke out of the whole thing, and was a complete turn off.
Exactly Winston or was so rude
I agree 100%, that buzzer sucks!
What a HORRIBLE buzzer to employ when dealing with an elderly war-torn man. It frazzled my nerves. I really felt for him each time it went off!
Whether you know or like it that sound would trigger TERRIBLE memories for this older Ex-army / Military man.
He deserves some Peace.
I don't think he's particularly an ex-military man. Rather, he's been for years in the geopolitical consulting business. His seemingly preposterous predictions have a habit of coming true.
War torn??? He or rather his parents fled Hungary when he was a baby he grew up in the USA the only war he's ever seen is the cold war
@@fisherking7798 He did grow up in the Bronx lol
The Coming War with Japan, written by Friedman and Lebard....way back in 1991. So who won that one?
Still waiting?
His next book is The Coming War with Canada.
you don't know who won? Didn't the Japanese economy crash during that period and has been in constant stagnation with their central bank buying up almost 70% of their equity market ever since? Ever wonder why their infrastructure is still stuck in the 80s? Just predicting a conflict between nations doesn't mean it will lead to war. Maybe a reasonable armistice with one bending their economy might suffice.
Mike just got lenzkol'd
Friedman sounds really smart until he doesn’t.😆
So according to this guy Russia invaded Syria :)
@@Sigmacadabra Bashard Al Assad was the Syrian president and he fled to Russia for safety. The U.S viewed this as him abandoning his country, Russia allowed it to help them out. Instead of both sides shitting on each other and trying to start a 2nd cold war we should talk to them and find out what happened and what support they need if any. It is amazing how fast history is repeating itself.

You're wrong sir, we do have the power and control over our own lives and you would like me to believe that isn't the case.
George is right!
You don't have control over your life when someone else writes your paycheck.
@@jonnycake30 you got control over that too. You are an unlimited eternal being, start acting like it!!
@@jonnycake30 remember, outside circumstances don't matter. You can always choose to feel joy, excitement, and abundance. By caring about how you feel you will begin to close the gap between where your at now and where you want to be.
@@iberryboi there are some that know Truth is a two sided coin and with YOUR mind can CHOOSE.
This war is more of a spiritual kind. Men are complying with the old serpent. The fallen ones shall rise again. Satan wants revenge.
His time is short!
Truth DEFEATS the lies. Trump is now pouring MORE FUEL ON THE FIRE OF the CIVIL WAR RAGING IN YEMEN.
Consider this tragic scenario: A TERRORIST gets his hands on nuclear weapon and smuggles it into the hands of some dying Yemeni scorpions. Before they die, they succeed in delivering a H-BOMB (on camel back? Or by ultralight low-flying aircraft?) directly on MECCA (read Isaiah 33:8-14 "Peoples" burnt to LIME..."Sinners in Zion TERRIFIED".
Well anyone intelligent will understand that the " HOT & SCORCHING WIND " described in Jeremiah 4:10-12 HAS TO BE THE (radioactive) " FALLOUT CLOUD " -- from the same bomb that erased MECCA (making the heavens "shudder", Jeremiah 2:12). As someone who was murdered by NAZI soldiers in 1938 and reincarnated as a child in southern Minnesota ( Nov. of 1938) I now have the right to warn the Jews of Israel : PLEASE, PLEASE build more bomb shelters, stock them well and place them everywhere, esp.near all schools, for we MUST HAVE SURVIVORS. If we didn't have any survivors, why --- it;s be just like the destruction of "SODOM & GOMORRAH" (Isaiah 1:9) . And heed the advice of PROVERBS 1:10-19, as these men "set traps for their very own souls" --- please do NOT GO WITH THEM.
Amen. Avoid them as YHWY will place them all in the REAL HELL (his "prison", located in the bodies of filthy animals...
read Psalm 49 carefully and see that I AM RIGHT (the fleas and ticks in their fur bite them 24/7, and they eat filthy food covered with gravel that "grinds and gnashes in their teeth" --- they even have HEART WORMS...even young lions starve to death there in hell --- (the kingdom of darkness and death)--- please turn to God & be "saved" (2nd Chronicles 7:22 + 2nd Chronicles 15:2-6, 12*, and 2nd Chronicles 30:18-20*). I who type this am ready to fall, so please take this warning to heart as God may not send you another warning --- he has rejected those arrogant wealthy ones who you trust in. Am I not right? [ Isaiah 41:26-29, Jeremiah 2:31*-37*, Isaiah 45:18-19, Psalm 64:2-6 ].
Satan's coming!?!? I had better prepare and put on my best suit. You think Satan likes cookies, like Santa? I bet he does, all my imaginary friends like cookies..

Ephesians 6:12 Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and authorities in darkness, and the prince of the air (Lucifer) in the heavens
shane murphy Amen Brother thanks for sharing.
the original text only says "we contend not with flesh and bone, but principalities".
Oh please! Just because it says so in the Bible, doesn't make it true or applicable. This is the kind of narrow-minded thinking that turns everyone who pray's to a different god, your enemy.
It is NOT the confidence of youth that is dangerous, it is the greed, ambition and ignorance of older cynical politicians, who are happy to say, do believe and think anything they are paid to. This generation is wise now to all these tricks and they're coming to shake these corporate dummies out of their trees.
What bothers me is that in his vision there is no room for novelty, meaning that mankind is destined to eternaly making war as a necessity or as a solution to solve problems.
It's not a good bet that it will suddenly end for good this century for instance (especially when it still occurs today).
the global elite way of war is a war where we are slowly being made to be unable to know what they are actually planning and are doing now until it is too late. I don't have the answers but they want half of us all dead...…..I am sure of that.
Cecilia At least it "bothers" you so I guess that's a start in becoming aware. Historical facts are not a "novelty" and it's not his personal "vision", it's how human beings default position is war. America has kept the peace for many, many years and they have had to choose who to ally with to do that but no-one escapes suffering in the end. Prepare yourself - go clean your room for starters.

@@nick.valente_bass I was alive in those days, and heard for myself, for example, directly from president Eisenhower's final speech as president, that 'the greatest threat to the security of the US is, in fact, (what he frequently referred to by a term he coined, called the) 'military-industrial complex, and that all future president need take heed of this growing and immediate threat'. He neither created or supported the Monster. Further, he was a decorated General who saw action in WW2 and Korea. Do your own damn homework; I'm not your teacher.

@@Sunjammr I seem to remember that Eisenhower had retired by the time of the Korean War so how could he have fought in it. And even if I'm wrong about him having already retired there is no way he would have been fighting in that war. MacArthur did not fight in that war he was the leader of the military in that war until he screwed up.
Twisted history with George Friedman. Prune juice is a health way when you get full of yourself.
The extremely annoying and useless buzzer concept and the humorless guy who is pushing it killed the show. Great presentation by the author.
Woooooow. He goes from bombing jokes so hard you can see his face contort from the silence to shaming a generation for being lied to by his. Smart guy, really knows how to hold an audience.

And who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson here for clearly stating what needed to be said in the subtext. I'm particularly glad that all those Millennials were there to here that speech. Not only was it authentic Boomersplaining away the failures of a generation through passive aggressive determinism, it expressed a condescension with a full bodied arrogance of age without the subtle tempering of sophia, a complete absence of generational phronesis and euregetism coupled with the heady bouquet of narcissism and moral relativism seen too often in this day and age.

This is the same genius that wrote in 1991, that the Us was going to war with Japan? Very bad wizard.
He caught me for a moment, until he started rambling about Trump being stupid and evil.
And he praised Angela Merkel.
Angela Merkel was once a member of STASI.
And what kind of organization was Stasi??
It was the East German version of the dreaded GESTAPO!
So he condemned a President that fights for democracy and his country,
and praises a leader whom been in a Gestapo organization, who imports islam into her country and tell her countrymen if they dont like it, they are free to move out of Germany.

@@chrisbova9686 I know right ! Very Disappointed about Noam on that one ! ;-/ .....!!
Its like many philosophers using language in clever ways of describing material truths of reality, truths ironically manifest of the spirit of life which they often disregard, belittle, or berate, in ignorance (lacking understanding), even in ways of error in spirit, taking advantage of the generosity of people and their thirst for knowledge of truth that would spare them error in the way of life. That's OK if they are right, describing the truths manifest of the spirit without mentioning the spirit that animates us autonomously material truth; but of course its a huge disservice when they are in error trying to discredit, berate, or belittle others speaking to inform others in the larger truths of life of the Spirit who have found the evidence of the unseen in relation to the material effects. The whole thing throwing the book out for its cover... when it is knowledge that spares us from error.
@@chrisbova9686 I think that, gave enough time, every prediction becames reality.
But in this case, he thinks that a global war is a sure fact, I think it's possible, and I hope the only war we'll fight is against global warming. All together. Still a war I guess.
He is totally wrong about Germany, GDP and export.
First export is not included in GDP, what is included is the net of export minus import. Germany's export surplus is about 7 percent. That is huge in any comparison. Someone else has the exact same deficit.
Countries can have more than 100% in export relative GDP, then it cannot be part of GDP.
If Germany would enter into war effort again it has a large top notch industrial sector that can be gear to war production.
But overall, I believe Friedman are right, humans is the same, greed, hauteur, and hunger for power is the same as before. This in a world where massive population growth is continuing during this century. It will enhance the competition for limited resources.

Oversimplification and elevating one criteria to the exclusion of all others does wonders for foregone conclusions.

Get rid of the people who make money on war and you will not have any wars.
Refreshing to read the comments, it shows that people are awake and thinking.
Many of the companies that make money during wars also make money during peace. Bomb companies convert to fertilizer and pesticide products. The numbers tattooed on concentration camp victims arms are IBM numbers. Bayer produced Chlorine gas for WW 1 battlefields and Rolls Royce and Mercedes made plane and tank engines for WW2. If we could stop companies from profiting during war how would we stop those that will take their place? And if we could magically do that, would not our fighting effectiveness be severally curtailed by lower military tech support and growth? This is all hypothetical as it's really impossible to stop wars. Strangely enough greater war capacity since WW2 has pushed world wars underground.
@@brianpeck4035 - Those who believe in the rise of the scientific dictatorship, also believe that humanity would cease to have technological advancement without war. They believe it is war that encourages technological advancement. In his book, Evolution and Ethics, Sir Author Keith wrote, If war be the progeny of evolution, and I am convinced that it is, then evolution has gone mad". Note, that Keith was a follower of the scientifically bankrupt doctrine of Darwinism. The need for perpetual war for perpetual evolution was also advocated for in the Report from Iron Mountain on the Possibility and Desirability for Peace. Keep in mind, this report never addressed morality or individual freedoms.
Myself, I disagree. I believe that humanity can have technological advancement without war, as you have already stated by showing how companies that produced goods for war time also produced goods in times of peace. The question is one of morality and profit, as the war time goods tend to be more profitable than the goods produced during peace.
@@solonlysander2180 As necessity is the mother of invention, war makes for strong necessities. Invention is not completely reliant on war but is given quite the boost by it. The Wright Flyer was not created for war but WW1 and ww2 sure gave airplane development a lot of boost. I don't see how evolution is scientifically bankrupt, natural selection has been observed in the lab, in the fossil record and in our genetics: evidently we share 30% DNA with banana. The profitability of war is all too often a major motivator.
@@brianpeck4035 - Please note that I said..."the scientifically bankrupt doctrine of Darwinism.", not "evolution". Simply because humans have some percentage of DNA similarity to bananas, does not prove evolution or Darwinism. Humans also contain roughly 60% of the same DNA as chickens and the platypus, does that mean humans evolved from bananas, chickens or the platypus ? There is no necessity for war itself, thus any invention created for war is not a necessity. You even stated such with the Wright Flyer example. The technological advancement of flight was achieved not for the necessity or use of war.
@@solonlysander2180 Darwinism and evolution are two names for the same thing. Your question of "similarity" in dna: no it does not mean we evolved from chickens, bananas or the platypus but it does mean that we share common ancestry with them. If you were told that you share dna with a famous person living today, would you ask if you came from him or infer that you have a common ancestor? Unfortunately war seems to be an outcome of special interest and short sightedness among other probable issues like tradition and such and is as necessary as smoke from a fire: a logical if immoral outcome. Do you believe that war has ever been the right response or reasonable?
WAR is the ultimate "Necessity is the mother of invention" situation. Jets, Rockets, computers, health care.

That already happens
All wars in history have been between two or more ethnic groups or countries over control of land and countries.
Because all wars result in the gaining or loss of countries and territorial resources, they are territorial wars.
There are, civil wars, wars over separatist states,guerilla wars over control of countries( IRA), or just plain ethnic cleansing so one tribe gets dispelled by death from the territory( country)
Then there are the Warlords( the territorial males) conquerors, who rise up and conqueror countries. The last example of this
was Isis, men from all across the world raced to join them to be part of their territorial army.
The conquerors haven’t faded into history, they still walk among us ready to rise up when pressures and economics and loyalties demand. Our own Kings of England were conquerors who arrived at the head of armies, territorial males.
It’s simple biology, humans are hardwired like every species to fiercely protect their closest cellular offspring. To humans
That is their children, their brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and on a wider level their tribe.
We need control of richly abundant territorial resources to ensure the survival of our closest cellular links.
You know simple biology --The old cells must die so they reproduce new cells, ( children) and they will go to war to protect and provide for them. Tribes who are not our bloodline have no value to us as far as the cycle of life, and cellar genetic immortality here on earth goes. In fact we are in competition with other tribes the same as we are in competition with animals for territory to survive. The tribe also protects the individuals of the tribe by providing protection around them.
Racism is really the same hostility, intimidating and aggressive behaviour, we see in lions or any animal when others enter onto what it perceives as it’s territory.
And there is always an uneasy feeling between different ethnic groups ( tribal groups)

While I accept Friedman's thesis that there is no end to war, the question for the United States is --- WHY get involved?
As Peter Zeihan likes to tell, the United States has little geopolitical need to get involved in the affairs of the world. International importing and exporting involve only about 10% of our economy, and the neighbors we need are next door to us in Canada and Mexico.
Despite that, we have become the American World Empire, telling people and states around the world what they must and must not do. That has involved us repeatedly in wars, some clearly mistakes. We really aren't wise enough to rule the world, and Friedman acknowledge that, noting that our power insulates us from the consequences of our foolishness.
So why bother? Why not return to the foreign policy of George Washington, the first President of the United States: "No entangling foreign alliances."
This is expressed more recently and even more succinctly by a recent American President: "America First."
In the 1960s, we anti war leftists used to shout "The United States is not the policeman of the world!" The left forgot that once they discovered they could gain power over the United States and use it to tell everyone in the world what they must and must not do."
Let the world fix their own problems ---I guarantee you that they will! We in the United States can spend time fixing our own problems ---of which we have plenty.
Well the short answer to this is of course, because some groups which have the strongest influence on politics in your country profit enormously from the war. Or where do the several hundred billions of tax payer money every year go to? And why is - as soon as one conflict is over - the next one with American involvement sure to follow within _months_…?

Some fair points on history, human nature, technology and generational differences sure, but his analysis is so US-centric it beggars belief how anyone can take him seriously. A big elephant in the the room, the number one fading power is the USA! 50% of world GDP after WW2, today down to 25%, and they have outsourced so much manufacturing, totally dependant on consumerism and military expansionism, no one has a "real" job any more.. Russia invaded Syria??? what's he smoking?? They went in to defend their only foreign Military Base and support the Syrian government, which was attacked by mercenary jihadis paid by CIA/Israel/Saudis et al.. in their unipolar world domination pipe dream. This guy is full of shit
1. The reason we aren't as economically dominant now versus then is that the rest of the world is no longer a post ww2 smoldering blood stained ruin
2. No country can take us on 1v1 and win, we're still the biggest kid in town even if the rest of the kids are bigger too
3. Russia is meddling in The Middle East almost as much as we are, the Syrian government is just as bad as the rebels, they just picked Russia as a side. If the rebels told Russia they could have two ports on the Mediterranean they'd switch sides in a heartbeat, and I would too.
@@Dap1ssmonk moral equivalence between jihadists a Gov't that was still re-elected after the war started? Syria was a secular, relatively peaceful and tolerant country up to the time the west decided it was gonna intervene by flooding the country with jihadists (to support the minority unhappy with its problems caused by drought, dropping oil prices and financial sabotage). Haven't heard of any rebel faction that wasn't associated with mercenary jihadis or some foreign money, such is their love for democracy and tolerance, all they have done is fight, not a single electable leader has been offered. Let's not even talk about the atrocities committed all over the country, from beheadings to mass rapes. Even if half the bs stories about gas attacks (which would only benefit western propaganda and serve zero military or political purpose, quite the opposite actually) were true, my scales would be tipped towards Assad 8 days a week.
Awanna, nice intelligent reply. His is totally full of it!
Every country is in decline, overall. One of the reasons why USA has less global GDP share is because other countries have imported capitalism and have therefore increased their production. Unfortunately for tham, they have also embraced government expansion, which is weakening them, just as it weakens us.
"Totally dependent on consumerism" all living beings are "totally dependent on consumerism." We always have been, always will be. Consumerism depends on production. Greater production means more wealth, more wealth always means more consumption.
Plenty of people have "real" jobs.
Your comment regarding Syria is not exactly on point. Syria requested Russian aid to crush a rebellion. Of course, they killed over 1,000 civilians during their bombing efforts. You conveniently ignore the brutal regime of Syria, and you exaggerate the CIA activity in Syria, which is not to say they were not meddling around over there, it's the CIA, meddling is what they do. But of course, Russia was also meddling, so there's that. There is no "unpopular world domination pipe dream" that you reference. ALL countries want to dominate the world. This is why governments should have limited power and money

...and on top of that CCD - which stands for "Couple Charged Device" was first used by civilians (commercial airlines being able to transmit pilots' view from the cockpit to the passengers, previously impossible due to too stark light/dark contrasts) , before military took hold of it. Before cell phones were used for communication by military they were imagined in Start Track (their "communicators") forwarding their "prime directive" (not war). I heard the story of microprocessor differently: Apollo needed something lighter than a ton and a half computer to lug into Space (not war). Hence iPhone is not necessarily a "military device" but simply a product of this civilization, of which military always was major part, using the same tools and processes. ...it there is anything that changes civilization it is "technology" (and not "military"). Sorry.
Also, once a technology is appropriated by a military the cloak of secrecy effectively kills it for good. Hubble had to be independently developed (and funded at huge budget) even as military had already spent fortune on keyhole satellites of similar capabilities. (NASA learned two decades after the fact after they were donated two decommissioned keyholes.) B 52 technology secrecy will be not lifted until 2050 at the earliest. A number of cold war technologies (regarding shells of ballistic missiles) has been lost for ever and will never be used by current space start ups or costly re-invented from scratch.) Thus military is not really advancing technology but rather parasitic on what is going on at large. For technology acceptance or even existence it is a disaster once it is gobbled up by the black hole of military secrecy. Or do you happen to know, per chance, how was "Greek fire" effected by the Byzantines? One of those technologies lost half a thousand years ago for the same said reasons.
That is also why militarization of Space is such a complete disaster: not only it will put everyone down here at a peril - but it will effectively stop-gag Space development. The only option and outlet, for resources and development, humanity has, to solve Climate... and survive.
The dark view of human nature, what this guy promotes, is, unfortunately, realistic and fully warranted even if I am not impressed with details of his presentation.

Were already in a Global war. Just because theres less violence, were in a silent most definitely a global war and this is one of the best videos I seen regarding this subject.
We're in an ideological war, and that is one that transcends borders.
It is in fact NOT about individual nations but ideas and people who choose what to follow.
Model airplanes were originally the product of hobbyists. Now they are weapons of war used in Ukraine.
Radio was the product of scientists and civilian developers (Marconi) the Titanic's "CQD and "SOS calls being an example, before WWI. But then in WWI, radio technology was hugely influenced by the military.
The telegraph and telephone were the product of civilian development in the United States, serving civilian needs.
Development of central electric power grids and large scale electric utilities were a product of civilian technology and was developed to meet civilian needs and demands in the 19th century.
The airplane was developed by a couple of bicycle mechanics in a country without much of a military industrial complex. However, once invented, the first major market was for the military of any interested power, and of course it was shortly wholly a military project during WWI.
The internal combustion engine and the automobile was originally invented in Germany, an the original market was for civilians. In the United States, Henry Ford developed the Model T as a mass industry without the need for a market in the military. Of course, before long the internal combustion engine and the automobile were taken over by the military, but I don't know that it started out that way.
Railroads and steam locomotives were originally invented to serve civilian purposes, but by the US Civil War were used as strategic weapons of war, and have been ever since.
I make the case for actual civilian development of important technology without the military in the 19th century, as described above. But perhaps there was more military there than I am aware ---I invite comment.
This! I find his argument so simplistic and ridiculous. I really wonder what enlightenment he thinks making a list of inventions from military research brings us… obviously there is an just as long (actually certainly longer) list of civilian inventions.
