When I look out my window, there's no war
in the streets. No one's running around waving rifles or machetes.
There's no bloody rubble or burned-out cars. There's no explosions or
smoke in the sky. I can go outside any time I want.
How lucky are we who live peacefully.
But what should we do, enjoy the spoils
and get comfy?
The thing about war is that we know
that it's coming. If we can learn one thing from history it's that
war is inevitable. Peace is a mere pause between battles. Peace is
the in-breath. War is the out.
We are no different. That's what we
should assume.
So what should we do?
Prepare. And I don't mean dig a
shipping container into your yard and fill it full of beans and
semi-automatics, you freaks.
Arm yourself with ideas. They're the
real armor, the real defense against war.
Lack of good ideas precipitates and
exacerbates war. Let's make the next war as painless as possible.
You in?
Love,
Ben
