Is It Useful? (Guaranteed Monthly Ticket Request 3)

Jiang Yan Hai was a little bewildered. Why had this suddenly turned into writing a paper? The problem was... in a situation like this, he had to say something. This question looked simple, but it definitely was not asking for a definition.

It was asking for his own understanding. Questions like this were easy to answer, yet not easy to answer.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yan Hai spoke. "Military Thought, by our modern definition, is a rational understanding of fundamental issues concerning war and national defense, as well as high-level systemic issues related to the military. It generally includes views on war, methodologies for war-related issues, guiding principles for warfare, and so on..."

"However, in my personal opinion, it is actually a line of thought that traces back to the origin of life itself." Jiang Yan Hai pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Oh? That's the first time I've heard that interpretation. Go on, then. Why do you say Military Thought traces back to the origin of life?" The teacher at the podium was immediately intrigued and could not help asking.

"It's very simple, because from the moment every form of life is born, it is intimately connected to war."

"From the earliest single-celled organisms—even the evolution of life's original source itself—was a war! A war between organisms and nature, as life sought ways to survive in nature. And that evolution itself was a kind of thought."

"Once life evolved to a certain point, there came wars between life forms: how to avoid being devoured by the life around them, how to devour the life around them and better adapt to the environment, how to reproduce, how to make their descendants better suited to the environment and better able to compete with other species. All of that belonged
