The cause of conflict is almost always an attempt to preserve one’s status as “same.” A tribe, a family, a nation, in fact, defines itself by drawing a border around the actual or ideological territory it must protect. They are like the rhinoceros that marks its territory and attacks without any further provocation anyone who enters that territory, even accidentally. When this territorial principle comes into being, the wall also appears (more about this later), in an actual or ideological sense. This strengthens the cohesion of the same. We could say this is completely natural. It comes from human nature; after all, the human is an aggressive animal, as it has been from Cro Magnon to the present day. Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, when the ape realizes the bone can be used as an excellent tool, it also comes to the realization of % the importance of killing for self-defense, but at the same time © the importance of killing for food. One who is capable of making weapons from animal bones can gain more sustenance, and—which is at least as important—can more easily defend that sustenance from strangers. In this way, that person—whether they mean to or not—establishes and strengthens their group belonging. If this does not succeed otherwise, this is achieved by and only by entering into conflict. Along with this, another element arises when the goal is no longer self-defense but acquisition. This is, of course, the third component: aggression, the emergence of which is activated by the bone as weapon-tool-existence. If I can easily get the supplies, I need without having to take a risk (the mammoth has grown too big), Iwould rather take them from someone else. Doing so means less risk and effort for me. For this, the term “efficiency” was coined. This is what the Vikings did, and this was also what the so-called
