Throughout human history, peace has been pursued through force, fear, and deterrence. Weapons buildups, balances of power, sanctions, blocs, and alliances have merely postponed conflicts, never eliminating their root causes. War remained economically profitable for states, elites, and specific sectors, while peace was reduced to a moral declaration without a material foundation. That is why no international security system has ever proven truly stable.
Today, humanity stands at the threshold of a civilizational rupture. Global risks — wars, climate change, demographic degradation, and technological inequality — have exceeded the capacity of traditional state mechanisms to manage them. Old international law no longer restrains conflict; it merely disguises chaos. In this reality, peace can emerge only when it becomes more profitable than war.
Peace ceases to be an ideology and becomes a rational choice — driven by benefit rather than coercion.
A new reality emerges: the world gradually transitions into a unified system of international security, while states whose governing authorities refuse to join become isolated from the processes of civilizational development. At the same time, their peoples — as digital individuals — continue to participate in the digital society of the new security system and receive profit regardless of the political position of their governments.
In such a system, conflicts cannot scale. Every action carries digital, reputational, and economic consequences. War ceases to be a political instrument and becomes a systemic failure.
The more peace there is, the more development occurs. The more development occurs, the higher personal income becomes. Aggression in such a system destroys its own source of profit.
States do not disappear, but they lose their monopoly on violence as the foundation of security. Peace becomes the result of institutional design, not the political will of individual leaders.
Peace through profit is neither a compromise nor a utopia.
It is the only evolutionary path in which war becomes meaningless and peace becomes advantageous.
This is how fear gives way to trust.
This is how the future begins.
