It is just you, as war will necessarily always involve death and destruction.
The only thing that will change here is that it will no longer be a human choosing who lives and who dies, it will be an computer algorithm.
The problem with war today is the people that choose who lives and who dies are not the same people that actually have to do the killing, further removing humans from this decision chain is not desirable and should not be "exciting"
We need to be using technology to find better ways to resolve conflicts, and make a more equatable and peaceful world. Not use technology to find way to kill each other more efficiently
"We need to be using technology to find better ways to resolve conflicts"
Technology is neither the problem nor the cure. Scarcity, greed and artificial scarcity is what divides the rich from the poor and moves money keeping the status quo in which the rich becomes richer and poor remains poor enough to not be a harm to the rich but rich enough to be taxed (read: used). The day we go to Mars or elsewhere and say we discover an unlimited supply of materials that could change forever our life, someone will find a way to close the faucet in order to keep the economy untouched. There is constant need of poor people because the poor is easier to herd and use, send to work in harsh condition, lure with lies to get votes and/or send to war, etc.
The problem (and the solution) is all in the human brain, no technology can help. If we make the next thousand years of evolution without killing our species, then maybe.
I 100% disagree, the solution to all of those problems lies in technology,
Now technology can also be, and is being used to create artificial scarcity and other issues, but it can also be used to bring down those same barriers, to allow people opportunities they never had in the past.
I feel you and I understand you. I'm also against the war. What I intended to feel like the war should be is to be like the film Reel Steel. Imagine that, no people should be fighting only robots. It's just a context I believe many people would relate to.
Also when Kant said "war protects from despotism" he was living a time when the aristocracy needed majority of the population to take part in war effort.
Rich nations have very little reasons to sustain democracy if war is automatized to sufficient degree.
