How Can We End War?

Short excerpt from the article...
"Wars first start in the mind. Without inner education, all the scientific knowledge and technological advancements merely provide more sophisticated tools to those who are internally ignorant. Mass awareness is the solution. It must begin with you; it must begin with me. There is no other way."
The central argument is that all global conflicts—including the terrifying reality of nuclear-armed "unstable" leaders—originate from the "war within the mind."
Author posits that scientific advancement without "inner education" only provides sharper knives to an angry child.
Is our current "woke" activism just another form of entitled hypocrisy, or are we willing to undergo the internal "grassroots awareness" required to actually save the planet?

When people's egos become thinner and they realize that we were fighting a neighborhood battle, not a battle between countries.

If the majority of humanity could wake up to self knowledge then wars would be seen as meaningless.

The only way to end the war is for me to awaken from my ignorance.
War cannot be ended by policies, rules, or regulations. The only way to end the war is through mass awakening.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Big_Confusion6957:
This article relates to "collapse" sub as it provides a critical psychological framework for understanding systemic collapse by linking individual agency to global outcomes.
His core thesis is that global collapse—whether environmental degradation or nuclear conflict—is an outward projection of an "internal war" within the human mind.
He warns the youth that if they do not claim their power through self-knowledge, it will be harvested by corporate propaganda and unstable political leaders (referencing the danger of nuclear triggers in the hands of the "internally flustered").

If all nations wrote into their constitutions that the first people sent into danger of the battelfield of war they start must be the leaders that ordered it... we'd soon see an end to war and diplomatic solutions for everything would miraculously always be found.
