The Case for Avoiding World War III

War is not the only path to transformation. By addressing the root causes of conflict, humanity can prevent a catastrophic global war. Here’s how:

1. Learning from History:

   • The devastation of modern warfare, with nuclear weapons and advanced technologies, would far exceed anything seen in previous wars. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed over 200,000 people and left lasting scars on humanity. Avoiding such tragedies must remain a priority.

2. Harnessing Technology for Peace:

   • Technology can be a force for good. For instance, artificial intelligence has been used to predict famine, optimise resource allocation, and model climate solutions. Redirecting military investments toward such applications could address many root causes of conflict.

3. Promoting Unity Through Philosophy:

   • Movements like Naturis Sancta can offer a unifying vision for humanity, focused on respect for nature, harmony, and mutual understanding. This philosophy transcends national boundaries and ideologies, fostering cooperation instead of division.

Peace is possible if humanity chooses to act with foresight and determination. The path is difficult, but the alternatives are far worse.
