War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means. – Karl Von Clausewitz

They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labour, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television. – Lewis Thomas
