(Part 1) A Strange Question
I have a question, it seems silly at first but when you think about it it becomes very confusing. The question id: Is war about who is left or who is right?
I think it’s about who is right, because there no reason to have war if both of you agree. After all war only works if both teams thing they’re right. For example, two teams are having a war on if purple or grey cup cakes are best (I know this is a lame example…, because it’s obviously purple). Both sides think they’re right, and this causes a war. But if both agree purple are better (because they are), then there would be no war, but because both disagree they have a war.
But it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t talk about the other side of this. I see why people think it could be about who is left because the way to settle the agreement is threw who is left. Going back to the example if the teams are even 5:5 and purple team has 3 people left while grey only has 2 then purple wins. Therefor because more of them were left they win the war. So maybe it would help if you asked yourself this: Would it still be called war if no one died?
leave you vote and argument in the comments and I will try to add some of your arguments in as well.
(Part 2) A New Idea
In summary, war is about killing each other to see who will surrender/give up or be left standing. But there has to be another way. I have two ideas for a new way to solve disagreements.
Way #1: Testing a curtain way before trying it.
I think this would be the best way out of my two ideas. You test both ideas in a safe and cut of region. For example: (I used the same example in the topic above “a strange question”) Two teams want to know which it better purple or grey cupcakes. You have two secluded regions with some test subjects. They live in these regions for a month, only able to eat one color cupcake. Then after a month they see which cupcake works best, based on votes living conditions, ect..I see many ways in which this idea could never work, but only an idea, and it’s not like it’ll ever be used, but it’s still fun to ponder in ways this could turn out. I see many ways in which this would never work (like if an idea works for the 3 years of testing but doesn’t last for 5 years). Tell me if you think this idea isn’t completely bad, I know it’s not perfect, but it’s not like it really matters, it’s just a fun idea.
Way #2: AIR SOFT!
I love air soft, it’s soo fun, but what if it could be used to solve disagreements. It basically works the same way as real war but with air soft guns instead of real guns. If you get shot (in an area you’s potentially die) you go out, instead of dying) Maybe they could color the bullets to see where you get shot, you know in case some cheats. And basically you pretend to be shot instead of actually getting shot….
Okay,I admit this is kind of a joke, but who knows it could work.
