Seed Magazine: On Peace

Seed magazine today in their Global Reset series has a thought-provoking article suggesting a way forward that might be adopted with great advantage globally to reduce conflict and promote peace:

HISTORY—NOT TO MENTION DIFFERING LANGUAGES, CULTURES, AND VALUES—CAN MAKE PEACE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE. SCIENCE IS A COMMON GROUND UPON WHICH NATIONS CAN COLLABORATE TO IMPROVE OUR WORLD.

Whilst the article does not deny the scientific and technological advances promoted by war, author Daniel Zajfman is keen to remember scientific cooperation after WWII between Germany and Israel that subsequently helped to forge the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1965. If these two actors can forge a new relationship, he suggests, we all can—and cites several modern examples to back his case. Worth a read.
