Let’s stop arguing, agreeing, and basically focusing on policy issues, and get to the core, which is interests and values. If we do that, we will find we need to get on with radical systemic and ATTITUDINAL changes.
Check out the book, “Getting to Yes”.
I believe David said explicitly, in one of his columns a few years ago, that he believes we do not need to change our economic system in order to end war. Does he still believe that?
