The Menso Guide to War is an analysis of the conflicts in our world that lead to violence. I want us to understand and eliminate violent conflict on a world scale. That means big conflicts around the world that threaten our security. And when I say “our” security, I mean that of the whole world. I am a world citizen. Here a few of the questions we will explore in the Menso Guide to War.
How does human nature lead to violence?
Why are the Middle East and Africa so prone to conflict, while places like Europe and East Asia have all but eliminated it?
How does culture increase a society’s proclivity to conflict?
Why does religion kill so many people, and how can it be used to pacify?
Why are there so many nationalists and so few internationalists?
What is the role of moderates in war and conflict, and what leads people to extremism?
I am a political scientist, dedicated to understanding and improving the world.
