The NP industry must be hurting as many reject the notion NP is best for all... can't sell power stations so let's sell bombs... is that too cynical or is it unrealistic.
More bombs can only be a good thing right...sure follow the money..who gets the money? Who pays the lobbiests who manipulate the elected representatives of the people ( humour alert) to come up with proposals to build more stuff.
The masses are controlled by various means...money superstition fear etc.
If the common folk are involved in war cold or hot they are less interested in thinking about the inequities of the system that allows a privileged minority to enjoy a greedy portion of resources..much of which comes from profiting in making war or supplying tools to wage it. Like are the foreigners really stealing Jobs or are the controllers of capital merely offering up scape goats to give the masses someone else to hate...
Making weapons is the perfect business ... it's like racing you can't stay with last year's model if you want to win and so that's the situation which can not and will not change.
Add to that fact the necessity that a market system needs growth year after year after year...And I am not criticising any of these things as after spending much time thinking for an alternative I have yet to offer a better model that could work with the current version of humanoid.
Whilst folk have a scape goat they enjoy what their superstitious beliefs teach and that unfortunately is that abdication of personal responsibility is really a good thing.
I don't know why anyone worries life will go on just maybe not humanoid.
