RE: The Lust for Influence, the Driver of Innovation, and the Root of our Darkest Fears

"If both this positive drive and negative lust are manifestations of the same emotion, how can we reduce one without reducing the other?"

How can peace with North Korea reduce war with Venezuela and Iran?

Haha yeah. They do seem to start something up but they haven't figured out where yet. I feel bad for the shit people are going through in Venezuela but I don't think those problems can be fixed with bombs. It reminds me of that saying about how to the man who only has a hammer every problem looks like a nail. War is all we seem to know how to do here anymore.

And I'm sure the shit they're going through now pales in comparison to the holy shit of having their bodies blown to bits by the 'rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air' of Bolton and Abrams.

Very true. The sad thing is that there is a fairly large swath of the population here would call that helping.
