Good lord, mate! Because that's what the majority of nostr users whine and moan about. From what I've observed, they NEVER reach a point of comprehension... and the complaining just continues. Just give it a rest. Talk to each other, contemplate, and focus on ways to help each other take care of your loved ones. Let the cycle continue. If you've never witnessed war firsthand, you'll never understand my perspective. 

 This'll be my last bit

I understand the historical trends, but to say that a historical model will continue into the future because of Determinism is intellectually dishonest.

The mere fact that you're trying to convince people of this perspective is admitting there is such thing as "Free Will"

Enjoyed the back and forth. 

 Ya know, mate. It's okay to just admit that you didn't understand my perspective. 

 Not understanding and not agreeing are not the same thing. I agree if what you're talking about is the Fourth Turning Theory. I disagree if you're saying people are Automatons who have Deterministic Behaviors. 

 I'm aware they're not the same. 

 But humanity, as a whole, does have Deterministic Behaviors. 

 Yeah, Statistical Determination. 

 It's not just that! 

 Deterministic like, the "Fallen Nature of Man" that Christianity talks about? Something in that ballpark? 

 Still bringing up religion into the discussion. You won't agree or understand. 

 Not with that attitude lol First time I've brought up religion, plus you're the one who brought up Metaphysical valuations. 

 Humanity doesnt mean anything. Neither does religion, philosophies, economics. It's all meaningless. Even Earth's existence is. Life will continues long after we're gone. Why waste time on religion? 

 I'm cool with that, you have your worldview and I have mine. The Earth will continue to revolve around the sun, statistically speaking 😂 

 Religion is worthless. It's a waste of time. 

 To each their own, everyone has a religion. Some of us are willing to admit that. 

 No 

 Aight, we're Peachy. Eh, tons of information gets left out in purely text communication. I'm all for having friendly convos to get closer to understanding subjective/objective Truths. 

 Lol. This was all pointless. You're not a veteran, are you? 

 I'm not a Veteran 

 For nearly a decade I've been trying. No one ever gets it. 

 History repeats itself over and over, but through the use of different means. 

 It will continue. It already is.
