Crush Mix Burn Repeat


"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation!" - Rent"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Gandhi"War has changed" - Old Snake, MGS4

What is war?

What purposes can bloodshed serve? 

Where is the solution to the revolution?

War is the natural selection process of ideals and information.

War filters out needless thought and outright lies of the previous conflict.

Revolution is in itself it's own solution. In war, once an uprising occurs and the declaration is made, all sides are "just".

Natural selection?

Process?

The process in which living beings go through adaptations to create an improved species thus paving the way towards the next step in evolution.Crush. Mix. Burn. Repeat.

War is nothing more than a long trial and error process that leads humanity toward a full understanding of it's purpose. A system insuring that future generations never fail to prosper. Each conflict spurring leaps in technology, ideals, and beliefs, which in turn bring about the next war.

The crusades, The Magna Carta, The American Revolution, The Civil War, World Wars I & II, The Cold War; all of it was merely steps in a process that will ultimately lead to an equilibrium of thought and awareness.

Crush?

All it takes is a spark. An asassination, a terrorist attack, or just a simple act of legislation or parliament. That spark begins a chain reaction that causes opposing beliefs to spread. What began as a tiny fork in the path grows into a great rift. Soon violence occurs and war begins. A victor arises from the smoke and thus history is written. "Truth" becomes manufactured and fed to the masses.

Mix?

"Truth" takes hold of the public. New players step in. The "truth" is widely bought and becomes the foundation of new belief. The new belief becomes a new brand of "truth" to compete with old "truth"

Burn?

Competing "truths" begin yet another spark. The old "truth" leads to a suppression of new "truth". New "truth" grows from sympathy. Revolution enters the mind of believers. War is declared.

Repeat.

And once again, Information and "Truth" enter a filter. One more step toward evolution.
