Facebook says, 'Privacy is theft,' because they're selling your lack of privacy to the advertisers who might show up one day.

Is war an inevitable outcome of competing interests in a complex society? In other words, would war be the same even if human nature were very different?

At a minimum if we can just have enough distribution of clout in society so it isn't run by a tiny minority, then at the very least it gives us some room to breathe.
