Deep dives
Transition from conquest to trade and ideas
Throughout human history, the drive for conquest has been motivated by the pursuit of resources. However, the initial explorers were driven by trade and the search for valuable commodities such as spices, gold, and silks. The desire to conquer land emerged later due to finite resource constraints. As technology advances, the notion of finite resources diminishes, making it more advantageous to seek resources beyond Earth, such as neutron stars or star systems. The focus shifts from conquering planets to the exchange of ideas and trade, indicative of a trend towards becoming less warlike.
