Albert Einstein - "So long as there are men, there will be wars." Do you agree?

This was verbatim from Albert Einstein himself.

Think it's true ..?

NO

No, hopefully there will come a time when we grow up and learn to live in piece.

what qualifies as a war? the art of war by sun tzu is written to advise for almost any human conflict whether it is personal or military. i think there will be war but i dont know what kind of wars they will be

I agree, there will always be conflict, but maybe we can find a way without killing each other.

You are absoltuly right.
We will end up all in pieces.

There wil be a time where we will be at peace.

After a war in which the U.S. is destroyed.
And the Midde East.

I hardly think so.

If the US (along with the western world) and middle east are destroyed, then the only powers left are Russia and China. Any conflict between these two would end up with China winning.

Or England and France step in after the others have damaged themselves, bringing back civilisation to the world!!

Einstein also said this:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm beginning to have my doubts about the former."
Based on this, I would answer Yes.

But "always" is a long time. Looking way, way forward, perhaps to an era of proton decay, when "men" -- humans -- will have perhaps evolved way past all the BS we fight about today...no more wars.

War, huh yeah, What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again!

Yes with French cooking and English Dentistry we would save the world 🙂 Frogs leg anyone?

It appears to be the case that it is a part of our human nature to engage in an us vs. them mental attitude, rather than cooperate with people who are different.

Nice parapraxis there.

I think it is inevitable. The warrior attitude breeds war, the pacifist attitude breeds complacency. There will always be too many of each.

Yes because as long as we have men who will not rise it upove themselves to seek the path of humility and peace, than we will always have war. War not from vengance, nor for land or religion, but from stupidity. Becase Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated; "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever."

Hmm. Somehow, homo "sapiens" doesnt quite seem to fit the bill, does it.
