The thing is, war is a result (typically) of irresolvable differences that neither side will back down from. 'Civilized war' will only work as long as both sides are willing to accept the outcome. If you lose and still won't accept it, then the next step is UNcivilized war and that's inevitable.
Unfortunately, this method doesn't address need of permanently removing despots, dictators, corrupt government or individuals that slave population with method or other. And that is one of main reasons for war.
This is a long shot, but what is that story where a human pilot is hanging with an alien ship captain and the captain is trying to impress/ surprise the pilot with their technology, only for the pilot to geek out at everything and accurately guess what each piece does, to the point they go into a holodeck and the human recognize what it is before the alien can even say it?

Organic computers are extremely useful. How ever, can be a bit of a bother when they have issues. Virus's can be harder to deal with, and a core dump is a lot more troubling to deal with.
Hey Agro, I popped you an email about a short story i wrote, I don't know how often you check but as soon as I hear back from ya I'll send you the story it self.
Love the stories as usual! One thing though, as I think this word comes up fairly often in war HFY stories, "Pyrrhic" is pronounced like "Pier-ick" not "Pie-rick."
We tricked a rock into thinking.... Yeah, but first we had to smash it flat and stuff some lightning in it ;) Not my joke.... remember reading that somewhere
Hatutei may be apex predators, but humans are persistance hunters. And we've already made a few apex predators into little bitches (literally sense of the word, as in female dogs).
if their computers are ALL organic and always have been, then how did they develop the technology to manipulate DNA on that scale without the aid of computers?
Hah, that first story was great! A very unorthodox case of mutual culture shock!
First story deserves a fully fleshed series
Oh that hurt.. well done.
We didn't trick the rocks, we CONVINCED them.
We threatened them that if they won't work, we will throw them out.
To be fair, we first had to make the rocks flat and fill them with lightning.

For the voice, for the author, and the rithm that is algo.
Imagine a future where instead of going to war humanity battles in pre-designated areas using robots.

I throughly enjoyed it also.
Just wait till they learn we did one better and made the rock believe it was a person. A rock became a person.
you mean that we made the rock a person
do you want to get smacked by a grumpy AI?
@@crayonchomper1180 not really no. We need better AI rolemodels besides skynet, or HAL or GLADOs.

It's not so much as we tricked a rock into thinking, it's that we tricked a rock into doing math.
Computers. Killbots. Trickery and force multipliers, yep, that's Human tech all right. HFY!

Computers?
Sounds like the "computers" used by the aliens are genetically engineered savants, hence their inability to read binary files.
How the fuck are these aliens in space without actual mechanical technology?
I think they were just talking about computers. Didn't actually mention other technologies i believe.

F.A.S.
Except machines have way more heat than humans... So a BS story, especially with Xenos holding orbitals.
