> A healthy, happy, productive populace can solve national security as a side effect. I think many “healthy, happy, productive” societies that have been invaded by less happy and productive neighbors throughout all of recorded history would beg to disagree. | ||

IMO it would take some real study to come to a conclusion there. My opinion is mostly borrowed from the ACOUP guy: societies that are relatively developed in comparison to their neighbors rack up a lot of W’s. This is just unsurprising and not narratively dramatic so the opposite gets over-emphasized. https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-... | ||
