Are we rationalising the spillage of blood to serve technological progress?

Did you listen to the podcast, Conrad?

I am not, I know this. I did not listen to the podcast, I generally tend to dislike anything pro-war, or something that builds excitement around war.

A podcast I would listen to, would be titled “Trauma informed war progressions in history”

Listen to the podcast. I think Richard makes an excellent point about warfare.

My co-host started his question with this: "I'm probably a typical left liberal, war and blood is bad and warfare is bad. And so this was one of these increasingly rare moments where I really feel like my perspective was shifted by this book."

Ah okay cool, I agree with that sentiment. I generally don’t listen to podcasts - prefer reading.

Thanks for answering my question :)
