Days of Peace 1 | Peace: The Ultimate Survival Strategy

We're often taught that peace is a lovely, but ultimately impossible, ideal—the stuff of beauty pageants and utopian fantasies. But what if that’s completely wrong? What if peace isn't about being naive, but about being smart?
In this episode, we kick off our week on Peace by challenging our deepest cynicism. We’ll move beyond the obvious horrors of war to uncover the staggering hidden costs of conflict: the lost potential, the shattered trust, and the environmental devastation. Then, we’ll explore the underrated force that built our world: cooperation. This isn't a lecture on holding hands; it's a pragmatic look at why peace is the most logical, sustainable, and powerful strategy for human progress.
This is your invitation to reframe peace not as a distant dream, but as our most urgent project.
