I think it is a very powerful message about when certain action-type paradigms fail. I linked to this video on FB too. As I said there:
Really nice talk on how some problems need a shift in mental approach away from the “fight or flight” war-type mentality to a more relaxed open-minded approach. I can think of many others where a “war-type” approach fails, war-on-drugs, war-on-cancer, war-on-terrorism, war-on-poverty, war-on-autism, war-on-crime.
War is really such a bad metaphor for difficult problems.
