sports as an outlet for group competitivity Anonymous 263735
i feel like i've neglected the importance of sport, or really any team based competitive activity, in adapting to the modern world.
imagine how much more enjoyable the world would be if people dished out their differences in volleyball, debate, or robotics, instead of in warzones.

I remember my philosophy teacher in HS telling how horseraces between very influential families in medieval Europe helped to lessen the tenses. Not as brutal as other forms of conflict, but very often the participants would get seriously injuried, some even died.
Not sure if it holds any truth, but the story left an impression in me.

>It makes no difference what men think of war. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.
