how has there been so much energy for going to war?
I have this question about 90% of human activity. How is there so much energy for going to bars? How is there so much energy for watching, analyzing, and endlessly discussing sportsball?
To be clear, I’m not confused here about people fighting in defense of things they care a lot about
think a lot can be explained by acknowledging that some/most people care a lot about things that don’t make sense to you or me. And this gap gets bigger with wider divergence in context—readers of this site are at a historically and globally extreme point of wealth, comfort, and breadth of options if we don’t want to do what everyone around us expects.
Combine this with a bit of crappy evpsych about social drives of excess young men, and much of the mystery dissolves.
