Although I can't agree with everything these folks are talking about they do make a point of how and why weapons help us evolve and move forward.
Parts of the theory they've summed up as "Death From a Distance"
We participate under the protective umbrella of our coercive means.
The properties of weapons technologies determine the scale at which coercion is cost-effective and individually adaptive.
Access to the tools of social coercion determines the structure of our society.
Give this to some bleeding liberal hearts and see what they think.
