We all know from childhood that conflicts are inevitable.
Even in dialectics, as a direction of philosophy, the confrontation of two opposites is described.
Even in the wild nature, Darwinian laws of natural selection operate, and when there is a zero-sum game (predator vs prey, competition for a place in the sun), there is a conflict.
It is obvious that human society inherited the presence of conflicts from the wild and even added reasons for other possible conflicts (ideological, religious, etc.).
The ultimate degree of conflict in human society is war (if there is an acute conflict of interests between different communities - a cooperative zero-sum game).
In the XX century, wars reached their limit - there were total world wars between the alliances of states. Fortunately, nuclear weapons were created, the presence of which on the opposing sides made World War III impossible - with its massive use, all of humanity could die. Although there were dangerous moments - in 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis), false triggering of the early warning system for a missile launch in the USSR in 1983.
What can we expect from the future?
