Wait, what? Seriously? That can't be right, there are more wars than ever before! Well, no, and these are killing fewer and fewer people, even though the world population is at an all-time high... and the numbers prove it! We explain how we came to this conclusion and why war... could disappear.

Videos that explain things. Things like evolution, time, space, global energy, or our existence in this strange universe.
