Orignal Star Trek did an episode on this - "A Taste of Armageddon". The war was a video game - fought on a computer. But if the virtual bombs hit your area, you were declared dead and had to a report to a disintegration chamber. If you can get past the dated special effects - the concept is the same.

This is like the future after the scenario I describe happens. But I diff, is that we keep the game, but change the medium. Humans are war oriented by nature, like chimps, but I think as the world becomes more connected, the cost of destroying one place is causing impact on other..yet there is a desire to resolve conflict in violent way.

> yet there is a desire to resolve conflict in violent way.

There is a desire to resolve conflict in an incredibly violent way because there are no consequences for that violence.

There could be, but there are large emergent systems which work hard to ensure that powerful people don't face consequence for their actions.

We, as... Not powerful people can push back on that, but there's a collective action problem.

Interesting, need to watch that.
