War… What Is It Good For? Inside the Human Addiction to Chaos and Control

from Unusual Practice · host Charli | Breaking Illusions

Why do humans keep choosing war — even when we know how it ends?In this episode of Unusual Practice, we dive into the seductive pull of conflict. From meme-fueled nationalism to AI-powered battle plans, war in 2025 isn’t just about borders and bombs...it’s a dopamine-driven cycle of power, profit, and primal psychology.We explore why peace feels boring, how chaos becomes currency, and what it says about the human condition when governments, influencers, and tech billionaires all start playing general. You’ll hear about accidental wars sparked by map errors, weaponized TikTok aesthetics, and why the defense industry might just be the world’s most stable business model.This isn’t about fear. It’s about the absurd theater of it all — and the deeply uncomfortable truth that war might not be a glitch in the system... but a feature.
