The essence of war lies in the conflict over the management systems of currency and population, rooted in ideological differences. War does not erupt solely from clashes of opposing ideas or values; rather, a deeper structural conflict exists in the disparate ways money is handled. Economic development and war are not merely correlated; they are embedded in the structural cycle of population and capital. The “money” generated by an economy and the “headcount” that manages it are constantly seeking equilibrium. Consequently, war and sacrifice are often utilized as means to rectify this imbalance. While the causes of war are multifaceted, the fundamental divergence in managing currency and population lies at their core. We must find a way to replace the structure that sacrifices human lives for the sake of population adjustment and economic balance.
For instance, the world should strive for “Analog Conservatism” and “Digital Globalism.” Digital Globalism consists of a financial system connected via blockchain and the AI integrated into it. It represents a new world order based on AI and blockchain technology. By connecting AI—acting as the “headcount” that manages money—to the blockchain, we can replace the current system of human sacrifice for economic and population stabilization with an AI-blockchain framework.
Analog Conservatism, on the other hand, is a stance that values culture, tradition, and physicality. It places the human body and tradition at its foundation, utilizing digital technology only as a complementary tool. There are elements of culture and physicality that digital technology simply cannot replace. Therefore, we should entrust the cycles of finance and capital to the digital realm while preserving our physical and cultural heritage.
